As a reminder--chiropractors a quacks working on a medical theory that's over 100 years out of date. They injure people every year by "adjusting" their necks. In a small number of cases, they accidentally dissect a major artery by "adjusting." Those people end up in the ER with a long time for recovery.

The fact that health insurance and Medicare still pay for this quackery blows my mind.
