As an adolescent, I had frequent recurring headaches, and my mother took me to a chiropractor repeatedly for them. Never did any good. The lady would usually just pop my back, and once she did this weird thing that involved squirting really cold water--or maybe it was even nitro glycerin--on certain spots on my back.

My general impression is they're quacks. But on the other hand, a friend of mine was pregnant, her baby was breech (facing the wrong way), and they'd tried all the typical ways to get the baby to turn around to no avail. She was recommended to this one chiropractor, who did some adjustment or other, and by the next morning the baby had flipped. I get the impression, though, that all chiropractor success stories are anecdotal.
