In studying actual science along with the fake stuff, mostly. Nowadays they have anatomy, physical therapy classes, etc.

Some of their techniques are also proven to be useful-ish for short term pain management (not for the reasons they claim, it’s similar to acupuncture). So someone who actually tells the patient that the treatment is exclusively for physical therapy and only short time benefits might be useful.

Few are that honest, but for some people that kind of short term help is vital.

It might be what gets you through the wait for a long term procedure, or what lets you rest and sleep to improve actual recovery, for example. Pain management is a need for some people.
