I deal with a lot of chiropractors in my law practice.

The ones that are essentially providing physical therapy cause me no issues. What bothers me are the ones who claim to be able to cure cancer, aids, high blood pressure, anything by spinal "adjustments" or message therapies.

This particular chiropractor may be one of this ilk and doesn't really believe in virology.
