No, I'm saying an anecdote is no better than an anecdote of the opposite experience. In the end chiropracty isn't recognized as medical science and they didn't go so someone who is actually qualified to attempt to fix people's health issues.

No, it isn't medical science
Chiropractic is not medical nor is it science.
Everything that isn't from a peer reviewed source is anecdotal.
With that said, being a chiropractor is not a reserved title, and the peer reviewed research doesn't shine a good light on the chiropractic domain in general. There is a few edge case where it might work, but is otherwise about as good as the placebo effect.
what if your peers are quacks too?
In the US, for sure. It doesn't have to be that way though.
