Of course my chiropractor recommends it lol. It helps me tremendously and it seemed to help him as well. We were going weekly, actually he was going twice a week. We were on a family plan and my wife took him on Monday to both get adjusted and I took him on Thursday's.

It helps with colic, which he was struggling with.

Yeah, I was specifically referring to the baby.  The wife has mentioned chiro, but I'm very hesitant.  I have had first hand experience with chiro as an adult, and while I think it works well for back pain and issues, I also know that chiropractors tend to think it cures everything.  And I'm very skeptical of alternative medicine, of which chiro does straddle the line a bit. And given the fragility of my daughter (both were preemies, and my daughter was the reason they came out as early as they did, at 3 pounds, 4 ounces), I'm naturally skeptical of this.

They might embellish it a tad, yet out of personal experience it does more than cure back pain. For one it really stimulates the digestive system as I always have great bowel movements after the chiropractor lol. It did calm our baby down a lot. It's not a miracle cure, but it does help. However it helps as a regular thing, so it can be quite expensive, and it did not cure the acid reflux.

My chiropractor does go pretty far with the no need for pain meds and natural health products. I rather take Advil than drink some expensive tea hoping it will dull the pain a bit.
