One personal story in favor of chiropractors.
In my late twenties I developed a kink or soreness in my neck that became so painful that I couldn't lay down at night and barely slept at all in a reclining chair. My doctor could do nothing that helped and acupuncture was a joke. But when I went to the chiropractor, he did one 'adjustment' with his hands which was an instant fix. No woo. No talk of a return visit. If I experienced anything like that again, a chiropractor would be my first stop.
