Subluxations aside, what is your basis for implying that chiropractors
don't understand anatomy? Are they telling us the leg bone is
connected to the arm bone?

I did not imply that chiropractors don't understand anatomy. Rather, if they
think that the main cause of disease is spinal problems, their understanding
of physiology and pathology is why off, IMHO:

While many physical therapists mmight not have as comprensive training in
anatomy and physiology, at least the training they have is based on
scientifically verifiable principles. While phyisical therapists and
physicians have different professional training and different ways of
helping people, the gap between PTs and physicians is not one that needs to
be filled, espeically by quacks.
