...my logical side says it's mostly hocus pocus.
you can be skeptical as you like. it's an effective form of treatment for minor to serious medical conditions.
my first foray into chiropractic came at a time when I had been diagnosed with cervical stenosis and was facing a somewhat daunting surgical procedure. the proposed spinal surgery and tissue graft seemed like something I wanted to avoid if there were any other options.
long story short, a dozen chiropractic adjustments relieved the almost constant numbness in my arm and spared me the trauma and hazards of surgery.
as I stated previously, it also got me thru a bout of severe sciatica and is proving to be an appropriate therapy for the whiplash injury I recently sustained from being hit on the bike.
