> Their argument is that subluxations (misalignment of the vertebrae) impair nerve function, kind of like having a kink in a hose.

And this "theory" is--pardon the expression--complete horseshit that's unsupported by any scientific evidence.

The article actually covers this topic at some length, including the fact that this "theory" regarding subluxations was discovered through the very scientific practice of seance...

I've had to think hard about engaging with you, because I don't think you're engaging in good faith. I didn't say that chiropractic is a science, nor did I use the word "theory."

In fact, it's not scientific, and that's why I consider it valuable. It can see things that science misses.

Science is often the best method we have, but it's far from infallible. And the idea that there must be a total disconnect between science and mysticism is simply false. Many of the best scientists have had a mystical bent (Einstein, Newton, Bacon).
