    They might have been able to but they didn’t, and they didn’t get sent to them by all the other doctors that saw them.

    Because chiropractors don’t work within the medical system and are reckless enough to take action without playing “20 ways to cover your ass” before they are willing to act, you sometimes get stories like this.

    I’ve met chiropractors with above average medical knowledge for your typical mall worker. Being able to afford and use an x-ray machine implies more effort than any chiropractors I’ve met as well. But yeah, if you are gonna kill yourself or you are having a movement related issue and are unable to get doctors to treat you, they aren’t that bad.
