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???

The issue with chiropractic medicine is that there are truths and assumptions tied to it. Medicine in general has a very rigorous process to support the efficacy and validity of claims. Chiropractic medicine has some of the rigorous research supporting some of its claims.
The issue arises with the numerous amount of claims that are at best conjectures that do not go through the proper processes. This is why many claim it be to junk medicine due, i susbcribe to it being borderline pseudo science.
Because of some of its validity and lobbing is why insurance can cover it sometimes. Keep in mind insurance companies often times deny necessary medicine or procedures saying it is optional. So insurance companies are not a good source for what or what is not good medicine.
