It's a load of shit pseudomedicalscience filled with charlatans that believe in their own myths so fervently they make scientologists look impious in comparison, who's bankrollers have put enough money in the right pockets to get the appearance of legitimacy in the professional world. It's the perfect petite bourgeois commodity because it treats symptoms without curing them ensuring a long-term revenue stream for what you could get with a few quarters in the old mall massage chair.

I legit get bewildered looks when I suggest people go to a physical therapist instead of one of those charlatans. They're so widely seen as orthopedic spine physicians that saying otherwise undermines your credibility instead of theirs.

[I remembered this vid by doc Raynor giving a good overview of the history of the pseudomedicalscience and gives a more expert perspective on it and positive alternatives to chiropractic charlatans
