Alternative medicine is by definition unproven. Once it's proven, it becomes... medicine.

Correct. What's deniable is that those problems are caused by mis-aligned bones (which somehow are not so severe as to cause extensive damage and pain), and that they can correct those misalignments by hand.
The reason it's deniable is that there's no evidence for it. All they know is that when they do their "manipulations," people feel better. Fine. But as we've seen, there are many possible reasons for that.

Then to some extent you must know what I'm talking about. If you truly believed the principles of chiropractic, you wouldn't be saying this.
