The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)

All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

I read about one of these guys breaking sick arm bone lol. On the other hand, where I live, these guys have to literally go through similiar shit like physiologists so theyre as safe as any other quack with paper is. I have mixed feelings.
Yeah, that's kind of where I'm at. I don't want to give any credit to pseudoscience, but but I also know chiropractors receive at least some real medical training, at least in regards to basics like anatomy. I've known people who studied chiropractic medicine (and acupuncture, which I put in the same category), and they were not idiots or scammers. And of course so many people swear by their chiropractors. I don't consider patient testimonials a replacement for scientific studies, but until I see a study that explains why so many people feel that way (in specific terms, not just a general reference to the placebo affect), I find it hard to completely dismiss their experiences.
For the sake of not sounding totally gullible, I should probably mention I've never seen any kind of alternative medicine practitioner, and I probably wouldn't except as an act of total desperation.
As an anecdotal evidence, I've visited chiropractors twice. One was pretty wierd and didn't do much in terms of massage but succeeded to make my muscles relax somewhat. Another one was applying quite a lot of force but hopefully didn't make any damage. Both were somewhat successful for very short-term neck ache improment.
Long term I should do gymnastics, that works better and is safer, but as of lately I don't 😞
Did you have any bone issues in neck or just muscle pain.
I do have scoliosis, but issues were purely with muscles.
Well, I'm not sure how that's called, like stretching neck muscles, doing different exercises with elastic rope that loads neck and spine, and such. It seems to be different complex with every other practitioner that's teaching what to do, but what worked best for me is standing on elastic rope holding it in both hands and lifting hands to T-pose (not an advice, consult a medic insted)
Sure, thanks.
