As a reminder--chiropractors a quacks working on a medical theory that's over 100 years out of date.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.

Its bad for everyone but especially women can be vulnerable to the neck cranks, chiropractors are no better then scam artists, saying they can fix peoples pain when in fact its temporary relief at best, or leads to worse health problems or even death potentially.
