I suppose there are some good ones but not all...

Maybe I am lucky with my lady, but I know there are good and bad in every profession.
That’s unfortunate Carol. There certainly are good and not so good in every profession. I’ve had some exceptionally good ones but I have also had one that was not so great.
A good chiropractor knows when to make an adjustment and when not to touch it. With pain there is always inflammation. Some injuries are too inflamed to have an adjustment made; at least that’s what the good chiropractors say.
Also often a back adjustment DOES feel worst at first because all the muscles are ligaments are mal-adjustedly locked into
place. Once an adjustment is made, it takes time for those same muscles and ligaments to settle back into place again so it can feel worse for a while. Many people don’t consider this.
Plus the sound the back makes while being adjusted can scare some people which makes them tense up. A good chiropractor should explain that the sound is just air between the vertebrae
