The first century chrisitians had the gift of healing,
but that was done away with after the apostles died...
A study of the Bible reveals several crucial differences between the cures reported in the Bible and those reported by faith healers today. Jesus and his disciples, for example, never charged for their cures. “You received free, give free,” taught Jesus. (Matthew 10:8) Therefore, when faith healers charge for their services, they violate this Scriptural precedent.
First century miracles served as “a sign” to unbelievers and as a means of building up the faith of believers. (1 Corinthians 14:22) However, nearly two thousand years later, Christianity is no longer in its infancy. (Compare 1 Corinthians 13:9-13.) The Bible has long been completed and is in circulation by the millions of copies.
So true Christians today can easily direct unbelievers to its pages in support of what they teach. Miraculous manifestations are no longer needed.
Paul further indicated that supernatural gifts would “be done away with.” (1Â Corinthians 13:8) Such gifts were passed on only directly by or in the presence of Christ Jesus’ apostles. (Acts 8:18-20; 10:44-46; 19:6) After the death of the apostles, miraculous manifestations ceased.
Thats what the bible says.
I hope this helps
extra points for consideration :
- At times, faith healing appears to have a placebo effect upon the sufferer
- In other cases—especially where a long period of time elapses before the cure manifests itself—it appears that the body’s natural healing mechanism is involved. In the book Science and the Paranormal, Dr. William Nolen claims that “about 80 percent of the patients who come to [an orthodox physician] have self-limited diseases—that is, diseases from which they will recover spontaneously.” With the passage of time, therefore, a faith healer can easily take credit for the cure.

If a chiropractor is a born again spirit filled Christian & prayed to God for wisdom in healing in this manner and received wisdom & knowledge from God how to heal someones aching joints / muscles correctly, then yes chiropractor is God's healing hands.
It is the body of Christ.
Tim, All true healers are from God. There are no side effects. Some healers aren't from God and there may be side effects.

In a way, all healers are God's healers.
My cousins are chiropractors and I have used one for back problems. They are very good at dealing with joint disorders and muscle problems. I prefer their approach to just shooting up on drugs like conventional medical doctors advocate. To say they are witch doctors I think is quite off base.

Your logic breaks down when you use the word 'some' instead of 'all' when you say "some chiropracters are christian." You didn't study logic too well, did you?
