I expect if you compared the bottom half of doctors, most would out-perform the top half of chiropractors.

To be clear, I don't put all my "faith" in doctors. People aren't perfect. But the science behind medicine is more conclusive than the science behind chiropractic. And I have a problem that chiropractic pretends to be medical treatment. It ain't. While message therapy my help with some problems, most other chiropractic treatments are based on hopes and speculation and not verifiable science. Of course, if I need a good back rub, I can just go to a masseuse and not have to deal with all the other potentially dangerous pseudoscience.
