Chiropractic, focused on the diagnosis and treatment of neuromusculoskeletal system and mainly around the spine, is the third largest healthcare profession in US and is pursued as a separate college degree. Li censure is required to practice.

Li developed a keen interest in the subject while doing translation work. By chance in 2007, after taking prerequisite courses, he and two other Chinese students were recruited in a special Doctor of Chiropractic program at Life University, led by Dr. John Downes, an expert in sports chiropractic in the US.
