Chiropractor warned me of possible outcomes if I tried surgery. What really made me go to chiropractor happened when I was seven and grandparents had me go with them to visit old couple in desert. The man lived sort of primitive but had a spring he got water from and a large pond. I got bored with his canoe on the pond and tagged behind him in the garden while he gathered some veggies. His back was strangely stiff like a board and he explained how repeated surgery and a metal plate made him that way and he regretted listening to doctors.
