In India, there have been traditionally "bone setters" who literally do just that. Did you fall down the stairs and twisted your arm? Or shoulder or leg? Well they did that.

I saw once at a hospital a kid who had fallen off a bike. There were like 4 men pulling and twisting his pelvis like crazy. I shuddered at the sight. These were actual doctors so yeah.

About the bone setters, they just fixed your twisted limb or foot or something. Over the past many years now they have fallen out of fashion so your nearest bone and joint hospital is where they treat you.

Rest of therapy and stuff is now delegated to physiotherapists.

That's slightly different. Bone setters exist(ed) almost everywhere.

Chiropractors have this weird fixation on vertebrae.

yeah. my own back is a mess because i did it. i can lay flat on my back and crack my way from the top of the neck to the lower back. then while standing up, i can push out with my hands on just above the pelvis and i hear this huge pop. then, to top it off, i sometimes when i have stood up for a long time or did some manual physical work, i ask my little brother to stand on my pelvis and at the right place, there is just super nice feeling and once i stand, the strain on my back is lifted. i crack my fingers, feet, knees, neck, ankle, pelvis, back, elbows, wrists...... shit
