I was a teenager and was having back issues. My mother sent me to a chiropractor, which I didn't know was a bunch of bullshit back then. She took an X-ray of my spine (how is that legal?) and told me she'd fix the issue in my upper back. I told her the pain was in my lower back and she kept insisting that no, it was an upper back problem that I needed to be treated for.

And that was when I realized it was all bullshit.

Now I know that it was come up with by a guy who said he got the information from a ghost. Seriously.
