It's alternative medicine (ie not medicine) and pseudoscience (ie not science). Chiropractic injury rate may seem lower in some cases for two reasons: significantly more people without injuries visit chiropractors and some forms of real medicine do carry real risks, eg real surgery carries obvious risks.

Your primary argument for chiropractors is that some real therapists use some of the same techniques, so why not go for real medicine instead?
