Chiropracy can be a legitimate way to resolve pain caused by structural issues (i.e bones, especially the spine and shoulders but also other junctions) if peformed by a qualified professional (if possibly, an M.D) but that's not really a thing on the other side of the pond, is it?
If anything, adjusting newborns is in 99% of all cases completely useless and any chiropractor worth their salt looking to actually help people and not take the money out of their pockets for useless treatments shouldn't do it.
There is zero evidence that chiropractic is beneficial in any way beyond the treatment given by regular physical therapy, and has increased risks over physical therapy - including stroke and...
There is zero evidence that chiropractic is beneficial in any way beyond the treatment given by regular physical therapy, and has increased risks over physical therapy - including stroke and death.

That being said, by knowledge here is anecdotal at best (I have a surgeon in the family who also has a chiropractical practice, who's learned it at university and also from his father, an M.D as well). He mostly deals with back pain and has so far solved everyone's pain, which is why people actually travel quite a distance to get to his practice.
What he is doing has at absolute best the same success rate as physical therapy - but with the added risk of stroke or death simply because the core functional processes of chiropractic carry that...
What he is doing has at absolute best the same success rate as physical therapy - but with the added risk of stroke or death simply because the core functional processes of chiropractic carry that risk regardless of how it is done or by who.
It does however come with significant placebo and 'woo' effect, which is the same reason scientology's mental health healings 'work'. And with about the same moral depravity or delusion required to practice it.
