re: Is a chiropractor actually a doctor or just a glorified massage therapist?

Have you ever had it done? It's far from placebo. It may or may not work, I'll give you that. But they are getting into the muscle and it very much affects the muscle. I'm sore afterwards, but also feel like some knots were released. They also use electrodes to work the muscle with the needles as contact points and that definitely works the muscles. It's not like some magical "stick a needle here and we release the magical demons from your ora". It's a deep tissue massage type of feeling when they are done.

They are definitely not an M.D. Went to one years ago and later found out that one of the “treatments” he had me on was a sham. I was informed of this by the massage therapist who referred me to him. She was mortified. I didn’t go back.

Chiropractors calling themselves doctors is laughable.
I refuse.

Many chiropractors make a living catering to patients on long term disability and working with law offices on personal injury cases.
Many of the techniques used and therapies that they provide have no real backing with legit medical research.

Say what you will about medicine but when my Dr prescribed Prilosec it was like magic it worked so well.
No more Tums and I could drink orange juice and eat oranges and other stuff with no indigestion.
I'll probably get dementia anyway.
