When I had pretty bad back pain and very little range of motion due to an injury, it did provide me with a decent amount of temporary relief and give me back some range of motion. While not curing the root cause, it was enough that I could actually perform stretches and exercises to deal with the underlying problem.

Agreed - it's good for some temporary relief, which isn't a bad thing!
... and people who do this sort of work should
not be called doctors... I think there is already a good designation for these folks...
"
Massage Therapists"
The guys who do all the active release and disease curing stuff using chiro also have a predetermined label - "
Witch Doctor" or "
Quack". They can be used interchangeably.
