A chiropractor CAN do a basic med, at least in Florida where they are state licensed physician. There is one quite near here that does them. We had a naysayer that called the FAA and was told that if they are a state licensed physician that it is approved. Like it or not that is the law.
I also received my Basic Med physical from a Chiropractor in Florida. He was listed on the Team CME Website

MDs and DOs: Are considered ?Physicians? in all States and can perform the BasicMed exam with or without being a FAA Aviation Medical Examiner.
DCs: Are eligible to perform the BasicMed exam as a ?Specialty Physician? when considered by their State Chiropractic Licensing Board to be a ?State licensed Chiropractic Physician? and as long as their State scope of practice allows performing the components of BasicMed exam.

ANPs/PAs: Are physician extenders who are not physicians but who perform some medical activities typically done by a physician. Privileges vary by state. They are not specifically excluded, but the BasicMed Physician is responsible for conducting the exam and must sign the Comprehensive Medical Exam Checklist. ANPs/PAs can perform part or all of the BasicMed exam according to state regulations.
Others: Dentists, Naturopaths, Podiatrists, and other ?specialty physicians? may be eligible if their state licensing board considers them to be ?State Licensed Specialty Physicians?.
