30+ years ago when I was in my early 30's I was carrying a load of full computer binders on my hip as I went into my office building. By the time I got up the stairs, my back was aching from that heavy load in such an odd position and within a half hour I couldn't sit or stand w/o pain. Called the wife to pick me up. Spent a day in bed. Went to the doctor, gave me muscle relaxants. Spent another day in bed w/o much relief. Neighbor said "try my chiropractor". Wife drove me over and within 10 minutes he had me walking w/o pain. Good story so far. However, he then said it was due to my diet..... What? Yup, said I probably eat too much popcorn and irritated my "ilial-secal valve (sic?)" Gave me some chlorophyl pills and said "come back next month for another adjustment". Never saw he quack again.
Haven't had back problems since, I warm up my muscles (stretching) before I go skiing and watch how I pick stuff up, don't do any sudden jerky motions when doing projects or maintenance or working on my property.
Bottom line is I won't say anything "bad" about chiropractors but I just don't think you can trace all your ills to a mal-adjusted back.
