How many of y’all get this done and how often? Hoping to not feel like I’ve been hit by a car anymore.

Once a week. Although the place I go to has me do a ton of stretches and poses to go with it.
Has made a difference for me but it's maintenance. If you have something physiological, you might have to go to a real doctor.
Most insurance covers chiro by the way

I try to go every 1-2 months. Have had some injuries that I needed to go 2-3 times a week for 1-2 weeks. My issue is I have a disc injury in my mid-back that causes my upper back to lock up and the occasional spasm. Ortho sent me to PT for therapy and I do my exercises to maintain; but every now and then it flares up for one reason or another (and sometimes for no reason at all)
As with any medical treatment, the key is finding someone you trust. I personally do not like chiro's that try to "force the crack" and use either heat/cold and massage to try to loosen the muscles up; or just say it's not happening today. Some in my family that use chiros want the "Dr to just get it over with" and force the issue.

The place I’m going to is $35 for full adjustment. I had a massage the other day and she told me I should probably go. 1 foot shorter, bad lower back and hip misalignment. It’s just my military days and age kicking in. I do need to stretch more often, but just feel terrible as it goes on.

Chiropractors are all over the place in terms of treatment and quality. Place I go now is topnotch, but went to another place years ago that was very meh in comparison. Do some research and ask around. Hip misalignment and short leg will need a shoe insert to get any permanent fix. But regular adjustments and stretching will help get you there.

I just get my chakras aligned.

Wasted $50/week going to a chiropractor 'til I finally went to a real doctor and found out I had a herniated disc.

Can y’all recommend a good bed as well, if you have one for issues? Like I said I’m tired of feeling like this at my age.

The trick is to find a good one, and you won't have to keep going back. I had a pinched nerve in my neck, 2-3 sessions and I was fixed. Then I reaggravated it getting thrown from a horse, another 3 sessions and I was good to go. Haven't been back in years.

I've tried in the past, but I honestly didn't feel like it did anything

Find one that isnt a bullshiter.
I have one in Anchorage that's amazing.
Thought all my back issues were from previous disc injuries, but turned out to be a hip issue after years of readjusting my posture with back pain.
Did MWF apts for 1 week. The. T/TH for two weeks, then one day a week for two weeks. Completed the regime in a month and havent had nearly as many issues since.

yep , snakeoil. Goto a Ortho surgeon to see what is really going on, may take an MRI do see what's up.

The most important aspect of going to a chiropractor is first finding a good chiropractor.
That's what I tell everyone who asks a question like this. Finding a good one is essential. Talk to people who have used chiropractors. Find out if they like their's or not. Ask what treatment they received, how often, what the process was on their first appointment.
Any good chiropractor should x-ray you and/or have an MRI scheduled before they ever start treating you. They, as well as you, need to know the point from where the care is starting and the potential for relief or improvement of any issues you may have.
One of the biggest issues I believe people have with chiropractors is that they believe they are miracle workers. In many instances, they can provide great relief, and with continued care, that relief can be maintained.
What they cannot do is fix major issues that are beyond their scope of practice. A good chiropractor will know the scope of their abilities and capabilities, just as they will know their limitations. Some bad chiropractors believe they have no limitations. Those are the ones you avoid.
