It's amazing how closeminded some people are. I've seen people go into remission from cancer, have had broken backs and necks heal, and have recovered from serious pain all over the body just due to a few weeks with a
GOOD chiropractor. Again, some are quacks...but I've seen many, many more "real" doctors hurt people than chiropractors have.
The body will heal itself over time. Remember, we only know about 10% of our brain functions....if humans are as highly developed as we all want to believe, don't you think that maybe, just maybe, somewhere inside is the ability to fix the problems that one may encounter? The human body is capable of amazing things - why not self-healing? The correct alignment of the spine, and release from subluxation, allows a better communication of the brain signals to the rest of the nervous system. Anyone who has studied biology for a microsecond could tell you that the brain communicates with the central nervous system. Kinks in the line are equivelant to a kink in a garden hose - information can't flow as freely.

Some are dangerous dipshits. Some can do real good.

That's exactly the case. It so happens that I've always been to chiropractors that know what they're doing with newborns. The woman that I currently go to is also certified in physical therapy. The cost to me? $25 a visit - and she'll adjust me for free if I come with a family member. She's not getting rich off of this.
In the end, I would put personal trust in her far above any doctor. I've never had a family doctor - never needed one. Was in the hospital once only after a car accident. However, she still pushes me to find a general practitioner and go to the occasional check-up. Chiropractic is a means of preventative maintence of the body in order to prevent major catastrophic breakdown in the future.
