I'm not sure, but I do know that everyone I've ever known to go to a chiropractor for back pain has had poor results. Relief for a few days, then booking their next appointment, rinse and repeat, until eventually they stop wasting money on it.

Well yeah, that's the rub with chiropractic. All they're really doing is providing temporary relief, not addressing the root cause of the issue. It's why you see people going to a chiro weekly for years, spending all that money, but still end up going as a routine. It never occurs that an actual doctor would prescribe a treatment regiment that would alleviate their need to see them, but that's not the business model of chiropractic.
