The hive mind suggests I'm a quack. It's OK, as long as some people can be unbiased and judge me for my quality of answers and information, that's good enough.

That's unethical practice and you should find a different chiropractor. Given that there are 206 bones and 600+ muscles, there's a chance that something isn't moving right. That doesn't mean it's clinically significant though. Fixing the problem is more than just fixing the mechanics, it's fixing the behaviour that leads them to their back pain in the first place. That's the hardest part, hence, the recurrent nature of back pain.

If you sling them on one side and they weigh more than 15% of your body weight, your gonna get a repetitive strain injury for down the road eventually

How did I miss this. There is NO such thing as vaginal adjustments for LBP. This is medical malpractice and a definite lawsuit.

The snake oil salesmen account for roughly 20% of the practicing chiropractors and generate 80% of the headlines. It sucks. The regulatory boards right now are full of the older generation so they're more tolerant of that nonsense, since they graduated in an era where they didn't really know the why and the when and the whole politics or organized med. vs. chiro. Currently the Canadian plan only covers chiro for the armed forces/veterans and natives, however, the national association has a goal of full coverage for every Canadian by 2023. The research is showing that including chiros in hospitals, family health teams, community health centres reduces the health costs for surgeries, imaging and drugs for spinal complaints. I think this is likely to happen, the mainstream of chiro wants this to happen as well.
