I side with the "its bullshit" crowd but also there are people who open a chiropractic shop with backgrounds in like, sports medicine and physical therapy.
In a moment of desperation I went to a local chiropractor for a bit who did have a background in actual physical therapy stuff. It was nice to be taken seriously about the pain and discomfort but outside of having an actual person with some background knowledge saying "hey, here's some light exercises and stretching to do on your own and here's some machines you can use" paying them 50 bucks for 30 minutes of "me using their equipment on my own and ending the time with 5 minutes of having a vibrating popping gun thing on my back" once or twice a week was way too much money.
There are doctors who give acupuncture.
