They RELIEVE the pinched up nerves so that the electrical energy from the brain can pass through and correct sublaxations. Eventually your own body will MOVE itself into the best place it possible can.
Now thats MY version of how BEST tx saved my life and career after 20 years of being a mess. Chiro's have MORE training as they specialize in the spine and nerves. A "GOOD" one will be very very careful and NOT even promote their txs if you have nerve damage. OFten they CAN make you more mobile and get the muscles to stop spasms. BUT it takes a lot of treatments and YOU doing your part in not cancelling their treatment by returning to bad mattresses, poor posture, eating poorly, not reducing stressors. ITs a partnership for sure.
My chiro saved me, got me mobile after 20 years of problems. AND he'll say he's reached his limit or cannot help a person, therefore referring to other specialists. By the time my MIL went it was already "too late" as she had nerve damage, so she ended up having surgery after all.
Good luck in finding help, we love you and want you to find the best help out there.

I agree. No crunchy chiropractors! The one I went to after my car accident was a cruncher. Some of it wasnt bad, but I hated it whenever he wanted to "adjust" my neck. First time he did that, there was no warning, he just grabbed my head, and pulled and did whatever he did to "adjust" my neck. It was after that I started having pain in my neck. Probably because when he didnt warn me what he was doing, I probably tensed up and ended up getting something damaged.
Kind of makes me wonder sometimes if the lesion at C4 is a result of some sort of damage from the chiro and not an actual MS lesion. I dont know if that's possible tho.
