The Chiro we use does exactly that - you can usually find them associated with “sports medicine” centres, and focus on muscle work (usually along with some level of joint mobilization) that differs strongly from the “usual” manipulation stuff other chiros tend to do.
I’ve actually had long conversations with him on more than one occasion about how he sometimes feels “trapped” by his professional designation, as there’s really two types of chiros out there in his mind, “evidence-based” and “traditional”, with the former using exercises expressly designed to see immediate changes that can be measured week-to-week by working on the referenced area, and the latter, as he put it, “having an unnerving fascination with the spine”. This happens with his acupuncture service as well (which, as I mentioned in an earlier post, is basically TENS done with careful placement of subcutaneous electrodes), which is related to “traditional” eastern acupuncture pretty much only in that they both use needles.
Generally, I’ve found that if a chiro’s website mentions releasing or righting your “energy” or that everything can be fixed through manipulating your spine, then the chances of receiving “voodoo” are massively increased.
