American Fitness and nutrition guru Jack Lalanne once said-

“The spine is the lifeline. A lot of people should go to a chiropractor, but they don’t know it.” 

Chiropractic or the methods and ways practised by the chiropractors is a collection of techniques that were once claimed to be pseudoscientific. Nowadays, this comes under Complementary and Alternative medicine (CAM). This very CAM constitutes ways of medicine like acupuncture, Ayurveda, Homeopathy and other various traditional medicine forms.
