A good, well trained chiropractor will not perform any adjustment on a patient until they have performed a complete physical exam, and in most (if not all cases) taken an xray to rule out conditions that might preclude chiropractic treatment.

RFEngineer, the only point that was proved was that you were associating with a poorly/untrained chiropractor who was no better than a quack.

If we were to take the implications of this thread, because you were helping him fix his computer, you were aiding and abetting him in his fraudulent billing. (I'm just being polemic here, it seems to fit this thread)

So, the Chiropractor did the RIGHT thing by sending the guy to a surgeon with his torn Achilles tendon? How does that reflect badly on him? (And I am sure this was all pre-HIPPA days...)

No, it didn't reflect poorly on the Chiropractor, it showed that most people equate a Chiropractor with a "real" doctor. That's the point, and why they have value mainly in conjunction with lawyers filing pain & suffering lawsuits.....jurors sometimes don't know the difference.
