[@MasterJediDude]

Yep, it was a line from the movie “Chinatown.” They did this a couple of times on the Simpsons.

[@DlcEnergy]

@Closed Since nobody actually answered "what's meant" by it, (only mentioning the reference) i'll actually explain. It's about turf. You put "town" after anything to say that's what/who's town it is. This was Moe saying, let it go, this is their town. (the chiropractors town. chiro for short) You could think of it today with Taxis vs Ubers. Has NYC been taken over by the Uber business? This is Uber town. (or city in that case. lol) And to explain why it's a reference. Saying "(some)-town" isn't a reference. This was only a reference to the movie "Chinatown" because of the line "Forget it, Homer. It's Chirotown." (original "Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown.") They of course set the scene similar also. On the street at night, ending with Noir music. But that's just bonus reference. It's also possible they could've never seen the movie (or it never existed) and still had Moe say that same line. But of course the rest of the scene confirms that it is a reference. If it didn't exist, or you never saw that movie before then (me, still) you can still understand what Moe meant by "Chirotown" the same way you'd understand the meaning of "Chinatown". You just wouldn't know it was a reference to something you don't know about. Sorry for the in-depth article 9 months late when it's irrelevant to you. But hopefully that clears it all up. lol

*They had their knee out of alignment and went to chiropractor* There's the problem right there - many chiropractors describe themselves as "primary care" providers based on pseudoscientific principles, when their profession only helps (and very incidentally) with certain types of back pain. Methinks someone should have visited their GP or a physiotherapist.

Chiro is a real and legit thing. The key is to be consistent and actually perform the exercises a doctor gives you. The idea is you're fighting back against whatever screwed your back bit by bit.
