Because a fool and his money are easily parted. People will pay out of pocket for chiropractic adjustments because chiros make a good sales pitch and some folks like the idea of weekly appointments with no end date more than weekly PT appointments for a few months plus daily exercises. Some insurance providers will cover it because offering coverage for alternative therapies can differentiate them in a saturated market and might help win business from their competitors.
