The woo lies in the theories on which they base their practices. Chiropractors may have some valid knowledge, mixed in with all that woo and a little luck. The problem is that Chiropractic will never be joined together with real medicine, because most Chiropractors are either woo subscribers who believe that being outside the mainstream is what makes them good, or scam artists who would lose business if real doctors started moving in on their territory. Neither have any motivation to allow genuine scientists to study their techniques. If Chiropractors took a page out of the book of the Osteopaths, then they could actually be beneficial.
