Looks really painful so I gotta wonder how effective it actually is, you'd think extreme pain isn't part of the healing process so I'm going to lump it in with the rest of chiropractor quackery.
In seriousness, I've only seen it done as a mild massage on the hands or feet - probably pretty harmless all things considered. A lot of chiropractors don't do painful adjustments either but the risk of doing damage is definitely there.
