I was not familiar with this term and had to look it up. From my brief search, it also seems like snake oil, and I don't know why someone would not go to a real physical therapist instead.

Not saying anything about the source, but https://www.webmd.com/pain-management/osteopathic-medicine

I absolutely had a PT after a car accident that used spinal manipulation and it seemed to help. She also had me using elastic bands for stretching and hydrotherapy, so there's that

Fair, I do have a number of MD DO consultants. The initial look I had was not within the DO licensing.
