I know so many people to go to a chiropractor on a weekly basis and either pay out of pocket or have benefits cover it BUT I seen articles or posts pop up that refer to it as junk junk medicine and on the same level as a holistic practitioner???

Back pain is very difficult to treat medically, and it’s hugely disruptive to the lives of people who suffer from it. Mix those two ingredients together, and you get a situation where people are the most vulnerable to charlatans and quacks. It’s the same reason that people were buying Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine in the scariest part of covid.
Chiropractic is just the most successful example of junk medicine, at least in the West. It’s part of the culture now, and enjoys a weird, privileged status alongside actual real medicine. People in America will defend it the same way that Chinese people defend acupuncture.
