I'm pretty skeptical about most things at the edge of science, but I've known too many people helped by chiropractors to think it's all bunk. I still suspect the "theory" of being bunk, but perhaps many chiropractors are effective physical therapists, at least for standard aches and pains. (My brother had a serious back injury in his youth, and he swears by his chiropractor.)
It's like acupuncture; the theory is, um, bizarre, but in practice it obviously works well for some people.
It may also depend on whom you get. My wife tried it and thought the guy was a quack... so I'd advise looking for recommendations.
