That would be me. My parents took me to a chiropractor as a kid, but I stopped going in my teens, and now consider it bullshit.

There's a few odd cases of back pain where manipulating the spine can work. Some of this got integrated into mainstream physical therapy. If it stopped there, then there wouldn't be a problem, but chiropractors claim they can heal just about anything by manipulating the spine. Any time you see someone claiming their one weird trick can cure anything from neck pain to the common cold, you should be very, very skeptical. It's on them to prove that, and they have not proved that after more than a century.
