I’m hoping a medical professional could explain, in unbiased language (since there seems to be some animosity towards them), what exactly a chiropractor does, and how they fit into rehabilitation for patients alongside massage therapists and physical therapists. What can a chiropractor do for a patient that a physical therapist cannot?
Additionally, when a chiropractor says a vertebrae is “out of place” or “subluxated” and they “put it back,” what exactly are they doing? No vertebrae stays completely static as they are meant to flex, especially in the neck. Saying they’re putting it back in place makes no sense when it’s just going to move the second you get up from the table.
Thanks.

99% is nonsense. I found one near me that runs a legit medical facility with PT and doctors on site. He was the first one to openly admit that the adjustment does virtually nothing, and I spent most of my time there doing traction exercises to help restore curvature to my neck, and I was able to see progress through x-rays. That solved the pain issue and I stopped going. With being more mindful about my posture I haven’t had an issue since.
