    Hi everybody! We are back with a two-parter, about the history of Chiropractic in Australia—the controversial super-massage that is weirdly popular here! This week we're going to be covering some prehistory and early history, trying to understand why there's so many Chiros here.

    You'll meet DD Palmer, the ACCC and so much back pain.
