Ok, so when I was younger (about 16 or so), I had a friend whose father was a chiropractor. Not knowing anything back then, I assumed chiropractors were legitimate. A bunch of us were over at their house one evening, and he was demonstrating something that represented how even quick fixes did something relevant.
The subject laid on the floor, back on the ground, and extended their arms above their head (all horizontal) and stretched as much as they could. The chiropractor then showed how one arm was stretching farther than the other. He did a few quick "adjustments" and then had the person re-stretch, and the arms were even. Both before and after, the chiropractor never touched the arms of the subject. It just worked out that way. He did this with 4 or 5 different people and it was fairly impressive .
Now, in my later years, I am fully aware that chiropractors are nothing more than modern day witch doctors with fake science behind their absurd claims, but I can't for the life of me figure out how that particular gimmick worked .If somebody could explain how he got that to work, I'd love to hear it.
