Legitimate "chiropractors" are called physiotherapists. Until there's some kind of legal definition that means you actually need to have training in safe techniques that are proven to work, there's no point in using a chiropractor. "Some studies show it reduces back pain!". Good, then use those studies to make it a rigorous proven medical practice, instead of weird pretend doctor lore where they can pick and choose which techniques they like.

On topic though, yes. There's lots of weird massage and chiropractor videos on youtube. There's a whole slew of them where they specify the genders of the chiropractor/therapist and client for some god forsaken reason. I don't want to think about why they include that info.

The problem is that chiropractors hide behind the belief that all they do is treat back pain, which has thus allowed them to avoid the scrutiny they deserve. In reality, a large percentage of them insist that they are at least as good as medical doctors for primary care issues, and most of them claim they're much better.
