YSK that chiropractors are not medical doctors and "Systematic reviews... have found no evidence that chiropractic manipulation is effective"
"Systematic reviews of controlled clinical studies of treatments used by chiropractors have found no evidence that chiropractic manipulation is effective, with the possible exception of treatment for back pain.[8] A 2011 critical evaluation of 45 systematic reviews concluded that the data included in the study "fail[ed] to demonstrate convincingly that spinal manipulation is an effective intervention for any condition."[10] Spinal manipulation may be cost-effective for sub-acute or chronic low back pain, but the results for acute low back pain were insufficient.[11] No compelling evidence exists to indicate that maintenance chiropractic care adequately prevents symptoms or diseases.[12]"

A massage never killed anyone, unlike chiropracty. Just get a massage.
and your masseuse doesn't make absurd claims about healing other maladies.
My RMT also doesn't refer to herself as a "doctor"
Hey, mine loves to talk up her blue ball cure.
But my insurance doesn't cover massages so it's triple the cost.
Right? I feel like that is 90% of the reason to get it.
I don't think you understand the level to which people take chiropracty. People use it in a "cures what ails you" mentality. Colds, flu, hand arthritis, all sorts of diseases. There is a ton of danger in allowing "back cracking for healing" when it doesn't do anything that couldn't be done with massage.
There are people who bring their newborns for "alignments" back pain is definitely a reason to get it, but not the reason.
