It amazes me that it is an accepted profession given that they are only marginally more useful than witch doctors.

If this were remotely true, how would you explain the fact it's a covered benefit in 95% of insurance plans in existence? You think insurance companies cover it because patient's like it and it feels good?
Also, what do you think should be the first method of treatment or portal for someone suffering from back pain? After all, it's the most common health complaint that any person will suffer from in their lifetime. You believe they should go to their PCP, who know's very little about biomechanics of the spine and/or soft tissue treatment, and get the standard "pain pill and muscle relaxer" prescription?
