So far, I've gone from constant pain to occasional pain, so that's an improvement. I've had to make some lifestyle changes too. No more lifting with heavy free weights. No squats or deadlifts. Ah well.
This of course is just anecdotal evidence, but it's 100% true (I'm not an anonymous dude on the Internet, this is my name, and I stand by my words). Do yourself a favor and stay as far away from chiropractors as you can. They're not doctors and what they do can have serious consequences.

I've heard of one or two malpractice suits against MDs. Do you blanketly recommend avoiding hospitals as well?

Though, I've had my neck cracked several times now, so a little late to be doing research. There seems to be a suggestion in that paper that perhaps these injuries are a result of a chiropractor aggravating an already weakened/injured artery. I remember hearing a story of someone having a stroke after cracking their own neck :O
I went to a Chiropractor for a few weeks but it never helped my lower back, but did help the upper back a bit.
