How does chiropractic work?
The thumbs of both hands are straight, and the ends of the two fingers are placed on either side of the spine, with the fingers facing forward and the palms facing down. Starting from the long strong acupoint (3-5 cm above the back of the anus) on both sides of the spine, the index finger of both hands, the abdomen of the middle finger and the thumb are opposite to the skin and flesh on both sides of the spine; the thumb is pushed forward, and the index finger and middle finger of both hands are alternately twisted backwards at the same time, and the two cooperate with each other, while pinching and putting, continuously pushing from the bottom up, all the way to the large vertebral cavity (the bone process site of the flat shoulder behind the neck), counting as a pinch of the spine.
