What I'm talking about is that their massage techniques do work to alleviate back pain. I'd gladly have all the Chiropractic clinics converted into massage parlors
@padriac
I agree, the actual "science" is bogus, but all chiropractors have training in massage therapy, which is the only legitimate part of their business.
