I had never heard them before. I had some back issues awhile back, and decided to try out a chiropractor. All he did was ask about my pain, showed me how the nerves and what not run through the spine, cracked my back and neck, and gave me a massage. One follow up a week later, and that was it.

No woo at all. I had no idea they were making the claims they are now (or did I just happen to find someone who's a bit smarter?).
