The nice thing about science is that it can reevaluate studies, correct mistakes, make new discoveries... Science-based medicine is not and will never be perfect, but has the potential to get better and better. Methods not proven by science to be beneficial are not trustworthy, and it doesn't matter whether they're viewed as part of mainstream or alternative medicine.

another more in depth article on the trial and fallout of the AMA's corruption:
https://chiro.org/Wilk/Wilk_v_AMA_25_Years_Later.shtml
it's an interesting read about the American Medical Association written by the American Medical Association.
diving further into Steven Novella (the leading critic of chiropractic care), I found multiple articles about how he would constantly use the same tactics and claims used by AMA back before a Judge ruled that their allegations were false and that their tactics were a violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act. and by that I mean he used the exact same claims nearly word for word, pointing to the same exact events in time that the AMA did. -- as in his source links in the majority of his criticisms of chiropractors can be found in the above link.
most of Steven Novella's articles also make claims to him being attacked by quacks and hacks. which is kinda funny considering that his mentor was a member of that disbanded "Committee on Quackery". It's obvious where his loyalties lie. with "clearing" his mentor's name and whitewashing the war on chiropractic care.
He does good work in other fields. however... he has an extreme bias against chiropractors which prevents him from being objective.
