Is chiropractic pseudoscience or actually useful for lifters

It's hit or miss. You do have chiropractors out there who absolutely can prevent pain (by mostly teaching people proper posture, which you can do yourself) and alleviate pain by relaxing tense muscles putting strain on nerves. It kind of falls under the realm of physical therapy.

Then you have the bullshit artists. The dogshit KST technique, cold laser shit and all sorts of nonsense designed to extract money from your wallet while providing no real benefit, but perhaps a placebo. I'd say either find a real one who can provide a meaningful service to you, or just find a physical therapist.

Thanks for the heads up, think I'll look for a physical therapist instead.

Studys also found that in many cases the condition got worse after chiropractic "treatment"

I mean the rip on your neck until it sounds every bone broke. It's fucking retarded, just go to a physical therapist.

what >>39302266 said. if you think you're in snap city or coming near it, i would also recommend visiting a kinesiologist or ostheopath. its a safer bet, specially since it concerns both your money and your health. best luck my guy

actual chiropracty is fucking lunacy, they believe that all disease comes from misalignments in the spine, and they can prevent cancer from cracking your back a certain way. i used to go to a sane one because i had a problem with my rib slipping out of place, and they're the only people who are trained to snap them back in place. he gave me advice on strengthening my back (imbalance because i work at a computer 12 hours a day, arm way out in front on the mouse) and the problems went away.
