I would imagine that chiropractic residencies would be fairly specialised, and you would get much better guidance from your chiropractic school than a bunch of people on a physics forums.

If you're not already a chiropractor, or on the way to become one, you might want to look into physiotherapy master's programs that are oriented towards sports medicine. Not that chiropractic is necessarily a bad way to go, but it does have its roots in pseudoscience.
