Sorry I am just seeing this comment now, 4 years after you posted it! In the full version of the report ( http://www.harvardea.org/s/Final-Presentation-PAF-LJAF-Report-on-Opioid-Epidemic-clean.pdf ), we point out that the evidence for these interventions is shoddy. However, even if they are only providing placebo effect, they can still have a great positive value in substituting for opioids as a treatment for chronic pain. Opioids also don’t work, but they cause much more damage than chiropractic or acupuncture could ever do.
