How effective are chiropractors in healing pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Marginal: Chiros offer a satisfying deep massage which temporarily relieves some amount of discomfort. They do not offer cures and therefore cannot "heal" anything. Their best efforts are in lower back pain - again temporary relief only.
