Don’t generalize all practitioners based on the strangeness of the first one.

The strangeness of the first one is the basis of the field. Literally all of chiropractic practice stems, objectively, from the one guy and his ghost revelations circa 1896 or so.
Chiropractic medicine is quackery. I am happy to acknowledge that some people find it helpful!

But let’s be honest: it isn’t scientific in the least, no matter what modern practitioners have gussied it up with.
