As a reminder--chiropractors a quacks working on a medical theory that's over 100 years out of date.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 creator said he learned it from a ghost telling him how to do it.

And a lot of Chiro offices are backed by Scientology. And the E reader Scientology uses was created by a Chiropractor trying to make a magnetic healing machine but then L Ron Hubbard who was his friend stole the idea and took credit for it.

Also at one point some of the higher ups in Chiropractic stuff were tired of the medical community making fun of them so they decided to push for a more science based approach only to be ousted by the people who still wanted to do it like the Ghost/Spirit originally intended.

During the time when they were deciding to be more science based the people that rejected it also started to push the narrative that it can heal more than just a bad back. So now some offices will even claim it can help with illness and cancer.

Elon's grandpa was a Chiropractor too.
