I had a co-worker who had a nasty whooping cough type of cough that just wouldn't respond to the usual DR treatments and after seven or eight weeks of trying this and that his DR suggested trying a chiro, just to rule it out.
"Adjusted" his back and the cough was gone.
One time deal at the chiro, too.

Of course after 7-8 weeks, a lot of symptoms might abate on their own....
Correlation..not the same as causation.

I am a believer in some chiropractors.
I was never a fan of chiropractors that would see (read: string along) patients regularly for many months (and or years).
My wife is involved with Physical Therapy and recommended a chiropractor to me who believed most physical ailments ( not colds or allergies or stuff like that) were the result of muscular imbalances, and not truly bone related.
The chiropractor diagnosed my back issues to a tight/spasming psoas muscle (basically goes from spine to thigh) and though stretching, exercises and massage had me back to normal in 4 - 6 session where a GP and prescribed therapy (not my wife's organization) barely made a dent in 13 weeks.

I went in one time and mentioned that my sinuses were really clogged that day. No problem, he pulled put this thing that was shaped like a gun and had a big rubber chair tip on the end. He cocked that thing and put it to my forehead and pulled the trigger. It whumped me pretty good. He did the other side of my forehead and once on each side of my nose.
I will admit that my sinuses drained better for a couple of hours.
When I got to the receptionist she ask how it went & I said pretty good until I mentioned my sinuses. She said, "Oh no. You didn't let him use the 'Big Thumper' on you, did you?".
I never mentioned my sinuses to him again.

I can't believe that so many here have never seen a good chiropractor. My god, you just don't know what you are missing.

600? Don't doctors and hospitals cause over 100,000 deaths a year? (And I'm pretty sure those are probably under-reported.)

And extrapolate the other figure to the U.S. and you still get 50% of all chiropractic patients being injured by their course of treatment.

Huh?
All kinds of organizations out to get them?
Seriously?
They sell massage at a markup as a "medical" treatment and preach a religion about dangerous spinal-manipulation curing all known diseases.
They hardly need detractors.
The profession is a bad joke. It's where college dropouts go when their parents threaten to kick them out of the house if they don't go back to finish a degree.
It ought to be outlawed. It's quackery at its worst.
