Chiropractor X Rays?
GET a 2nd opinion like I did. My DC Xrayed my spine and said that I needed a weekly round of spinal manipulations. I went to an orthopedic surgeon...

So you ducked the soft-tissue-DC-induced issue. How intellectual...Not a DC conspiracy.Just malpractice on unsuspecting patients. In case you are afraid to be public because a DC might be offended: "In December 2011 a study appeared in the Journal of Neurosurgery under the title 'Craniocervical arterial dissections as sequelae of chiropractic manipulation: patterns of injury and management.' It used a database of patients with endovascular disease to identify 13 patients who experienced cervical artery dissections following neck manipulation. It begins with a review of the literature with a long list of references supporting a causal association between high-velocity, low amplitude (HVLA) maneuvers and strokes." http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/chiropractic-strokes-again-an-update/
