Not sure how the post hoc... applies. In fact, in order to apply that fallacy to my situation, it seems like you are doing a little petitio principii.

You don't know jaques schitt about my situation, yet are able to conclude that my seeking of help from a service provider, and seeing the problem immediately solved is an example of a post hoc fallacy?

The only way you can conclude that, I am afraid, is if you ass-u-me as a premise that a chiropractor can offer no useful help in any situation.
