YSK that chiropractors are not medical doctors and "Systematic reviews... have found no evidence that chiropractic manipulation is effective"
en.wikipedia.org
"Systematic reviews of controlled clinical studies of treatments used by chiropractors have found no evidence that chiropractic manipulation is effective, with the possible exception of treatment for back pain.[8] A 2011 critical evaluation of 45 systematic reviews concluded that the data included in the study "fail[ed] to demonstrate convincingly that spinal manipulation is an effective intervention for any condition."[10] Spinal manipulation may be cost-effective for sub-acute or chronic low back pain, but the results for acute low back pain were insufficient.[11] No compelling evidence exists to indicate that maintenance chiropractic care adequately prevents symptoms or diseases.[12]"

Except chiropractors also occasionally maim and murder people.
source ?
And doctors don't??
There's a difference though. Doctors are trained professionals so when they kill someone it's by accident (hopefully), but quack doctors are not professionals, when they kill someone it's 3rd degree murder.
There's a difference between making stuff up and an unsuccessful medical procedure, but the only way to tell the difference is if the person has a reasonable chance of actually being successful I.e. a medical professional.
That's why surgeons don't commit assault. But some random person coming at me with a knife does even if the end result is still my chest cavity being opened up.
