Websites like Chirobase and consumer groups like the National Association of Chiropractic Medicine actively work to debunk what they see as the exaggerated, "metaphysical," and even fraudulent claims of chiropractic. Although many hospitals in the US now have chiropractors on staff and American insurance companies now commonly pay for chiropractic treatment, many skeptical medical and media sources warn: "Don't let chiropractors fool you."
雖然現在美國各大醫院都有脊骨神經醫師，美國保險公司也普遍對整脊給予醫療給付，但不少報導也紛紛提出警告，譬如對整脊療效抱持懷疑態度的「整脊原理」網站即提醒患者，「千萬別被脊骨神經醫師給騙了」。
