Yeah I think people are blinding themselves to the huge differences between chiropractors and just lumping all of what they do into one single bucket and tossing it out. In physical labor heavy areas they help a lot and 90% of their business comes from relieving pinched nerves, fixing dislocations, deep tissue massages, and physical therapy regimes. Nothing quacky about that, especially when it is hard to find a doctor these days who will put their knee into your back and pop your shoulder out and back into the proper place instead of prescribing narcotics and endless rest for weeks on end that is not feasible in those communities.
But on the other end of the scale, you also got ones who don't have that sort of business and are selling new-age crystal moon beam energy healing power and claiming anything and everything they can sell you will cure you of any and all ills which I think most people would consider irresponsible and dangerous.
One side argues for chiropractors because of what they do above on top of being super cheap and affordable for the average labor worker. The other side argues against it because they only see new-age crystal therapy in their areas while also being able to themselves afford better healthcare with a significantly less physically damaging workload.
