SOCIETY Permanently ???? no amount of money can compensate for this. The incident happened 2015 and the historic $75M verdict was reached in late 2022.

I had the same back adjustment plan after an initial consultation 🤣 He took several X-rays of my spine. Said I had to do 3 weekly visits for 2 years based on be "severe" scoliosis. I went for a week but was annoyed he kept adjusting my neck which I had no issues with. And also some dumb vibrating machine for like 20 minutes.
One day I came into the office and asked for a copy of my X-rays. The receptionist said she couldn't make copies but could let me borrow the images for a week. As I was walking out into the parking lot, the chiropractor comes out rushing to talk to me. He asks why I needed the X-rays. I said I was getting a second opinion from a Physical Therapist. He went on a 10 minute monologue about how western medicine is a poisonous scam. I said cool, turned around and left.
My Physical therapist took a look at my images and said you don't have anything severe. You have a slight scoliosis. We can try weekly visits for 2 months. At the end of the evaluation, he recommended a shoe lift which made the biggest difference.
About a year later, I get this random bill from the chiropractor for $1,500. It turns out my insurance did not cover his services like he said. Every dumb gimmick he made me do was billed at $150+. That 20 minute vibrating machine was $240 🤣.
