What specific theories?

I googled "chiropractic curriculum" to get an idea of what they're taught. Here's the first hit:
http://www.nwhealth.edu/college-of-chiro...-overview/
Excerpt:
Quote:Curriculum organization

The doctor of chiropractic curriculum is comprised of 84 course offerings, organized by eight academic and clinical departments. The sequence provides a strong basic science basis upon which the chiropractic and clinical sciences are built.

Basic sciences

Courses include biochemistry, anatomy, embryology, histology, immunology and microbiology, neuroscience, pathology and physiology. These courses provide a firm foundation for developing the clinical skills and knowledge needed to progress through the chiropractic school curriculum.

Chiropractic studies

Courses in chiropractic principles and philosophy provide students with the history of the chiropractic profession and the nature of the chiropractic healthcare model. You take chiropractic methods courses, including lectures and labs, physiological therapeutics, exercise and rehabilitation.

Diagnostic and clinical sciences

A full six trimesters are devoted to the skills of making a diagnosis. Courses include:
Clinical skills which prepare students to obtain a medical history and perform a physical exam
Clinical pathology
The diagnosis and management of a variety of health and chiropractic problems
Lectures, small groups, labs, self-directed study and online learning
.....
Maybe woo is hidden in there somewhere. Maybe not. This overview seems reasonable to me.
