Many chiropractors in Scandinavia are basically physiotherapists specialized in back/neck problems, so the normal criticism about chiropractors doesn't necessarily apply to them.

But yeah, some of them are the same quackery as you are thinking about. Not sure why the "real" ones use the loaded name.

That really is odd, considering there was never a solid proof for chiropractic procedures helping people in the long term. I may have mistaken but as far as i know its just a momentarily relief.
