Did it have to be reset or did it pop back in? - Ouch... sounds awful either way.
I got nothin' :
...avoiding any implication that I have ever entertained a cognizant thought.

A Comfort Zone is not a Life Sentence
You were lucky this time, glad it worked out and that it was something simple . Next time I recommend going to a real doctor! Too many people are under the impression that chiropractors are physicians or that chiropractic is a science-based practice or that it at least does no harm.

I agree with you that there are a lot of quacks in this field. However, I trust this man completely. He had only recently started treating me for chronic lower back pain.
He showed me my xrays and pointed out where my problems are coming from. My spinal column is straight. It has no curve. My last two lower discs are practically on top of each other, and my discs do
not attach evenly on the spine. They are off to the left.Six sessions in, I am pain free in the lumbar, and where the rib dislocated too. He has cut me back to once a week adjustments, down from the twice a week I was doing. Progress is obvious, and will be verified by xray when he is finished.
A Comfort Zone is not a Life Sentence
This is an old debate, and we won't settle it here, but....
Some chiropractors know what they're doing and actually do perform 'good alignments' and don't over-promise what chiropractic can do. Others... don't.
My sister had some f'ed up discs for years and chiropractic helped. A couple years ago she gave up having weekly treatments and had nine vertebra fused. It limited her flexibility, but fixed the pain.
Another "woo medicine" is acupuncture. There's no good scientific explanation for why it would work, but in a percentage of cases it does. Some of them are undoubtedly psychosomatic, but others... aren't. My sister (other sister) had severe nausea from her chemotherapy and the only treatment that helped was acupuncture. She couldn't explain it (Ph.D scientist) and decided it didn't matter WHY it worked.
Medicine is still a very primitive science, with many unknowns.
I've been seeing a naturopath who appears to have reduced my anxiety with an herbal remedy. I guess some could argue it's all a placebo effect, but I've tried several things ... why didn't the placebo effect work with the others if it's all down to my suggestibility? When your anxiety is sometimes nearly crippling you're grateful for relief no matter the reason.

I agree that there are undoubtedly good chiropractors but buyer beware...
An herbal remedy may very well work beyond placebo and many herbs have active ingredients, otherwise we wouldn’t smoke them ;-) In fact if it really works well enough it will eventually become part of standard medical practice. More pharmaceuticals are derived from natural ingredients than complete synthetics AFAIK.
Happy your sister had a good result rc, but I’m extremely skeptical it anything to do with acupuncture which has over many studies been shown to have the same efficacy as placebo, but I’m assuming you know that.
I’m definitely not looking for a debate, but I do worry when I see people turning to woo rather than evidence (or science) based medicine. I’ve seen too many crooks and too many victims so forgive the brief step up to the soapbox. I’m done.

Charlie Mingus's wife's bio of him described his moving to Mexico after US doctors told him his ALS was incurable.
He tried chicken sacrifices and cowshit poultices. They didn't work. He died anyway.
But he had nothing to lose.
The U.S., Europe and Japan have become far cleaner since 1965 when you couldn't see more than a block or two ahead in L.A. and Tokyo because the pollution was so bad. Japan and the U.S. are the cleanest countries in the world. Pollution in China has fallen by 40% since the late 1990s but India has stalled. Overall, the world environment has improved, not gotten worse. Environmental disasters are for the movies (and New York Times articles ).
According to the EPI the USA ranks 27th on cleanliness .

I blame Wynton, what was the question?
There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.
I know many people who've had excellent results from chiropractors addressing problems that "conventional" medicine said couldn't be fixed.
Incidentally, one a friend of mine - one of PE's longest-standing members - is a Chiropractor, and has a senior position at one of the top Chiropractic schools.

I should probably have used a different term. I mean basically any large disaster whether mankind contributes or not. Like something massive we can't control or don't expect (asteroid, eruption of giant caldera, global drought, fast-moving infectious disease, whatever).
