I'm a very fit and athletic person. The doctor doesn't need to tell me to exercise and stretch. Unfortunately staying fit doesn't stop your back from suddenly blowing out when you have old injuries from motorcycle accidents. Sure, I can take the Vicodin and muscle relaxers that the doctor gives me and sit at home all drugged up for 5 days, waiting for my back to feel better, or I can go to the chiropractor and be good to go within a day. It's weird how vehemently opposed to certain legitimate treatments the people on this website are. Chiropractors wouldn't exist if they didn't provide relief for some people. They're not the answer for everything, but they do help quite a lot in certain situations.

Just not in a measurable way.

The plural for anecdote is not "data."
