People have actually died as a direct result of chiropractice. Licensed therapy is helpful, getting violently twisted like this is a great way to suffer irreparable spinal damage.
Been thinking of visiting a chiropractor because I'm so often leaning forward on my computer that my back hurts whenever I walk and have to stand straight, but now I'm getting doubts.

do some stretches. If you aren't fixing your life habits, all you are doing is just pumping bilge water out of a sinking ship.
As someone close to chiropractors in real life, I'd say you can seek them if the alternative treatment the doctor suggests you is the butchering table, aka surgery. By that point, you have little to lose even if the treatment is ineffective.
More importantly, I'd say it depends if the professional is good or bad, as a bad doctor can still kill you regardless if the activity is legal, if the guy has a valid degree or works in a credible institution.
I've seen them fix pretty nasty stuff, but just like any medical treatment, it's no panacea. People where I live would seek them either by word of mouth from a previous patient or out of sheer desperation, as they are forced to choose between that or get a surgery directly on their spine.

Look for a physiotherapist instead. They can usually figure out what you can do day-to-day to mitigate the pain. Chiro did basically nothing for my back pain but a physio taught me stretches and lifestyle changes which genuinely helped.
