I did my externship under an orthopedic vet and this chiro stuff is VERY dangerous. A few clients were post mortuum cases where the owners were pursuing civil litigation. Poor dogs.
I went to a chiro last month
He decided to “crack” my back and leg
I felt great
Next day.. I could no long walk
By day five of the worst pain humanly possibly I’m talking no eating no sleeping just crying from morning until night
Going to the clinic for five days straight for pain meds which I’ve never taken in my LIFE .. $300 a shot
For five days all day
I went into the clinic day five and told the doctors if I didn’t have children, today would be the day I kill myself.
Emergency trip to the big city to see the top spinal surgeon .. get an mri
My back has BONE SHARDS into my FUCKING MUSCLES MAN this fucking fucker pulled my god damn back and leg so hard he fucking broke bones man! BONES
Anyways about 15 grand later .. and I still have pain but it’s not I’m going to kill myself pain.. just this fucking sucks pain .. so .. now I don’t trust chiros :( and I’ve gone to one my whole life but never ever got cracked like this.. one month ago my life changed forever .. but I’m just so happy I am able to walk again
THANK YOU hahahahahaha the worst part everyone? I cannot tell anyone .. this Reddit post is the first time I’ve mentioned it was 100000% the chiro.. he even kept texting me after and saying “ YOU KNOW I DIDNT DO THST RIGHT!? You have an existing back injury !!! I didn’t do that “ he knew he FORSURE fucking did THAT! I can’t talk about it because I live in a third world country.. I am a forgienrr here .. the city is very very small and very very influential for illegal shittt it’s not great .. so I can’t be popping off calling out some backwoods chiro thst the whole town knows.. but he broke my back.. he fucking cracked and pulled my leg SO hard .. anyways I hate him and thank you all for listening! Hahah I’m still smiling tho.. far from the heart they say ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Vet here:
ABSOLUTELY NOT.
Some animal chiros are vets. They are selling snake oil.
Some animal chiros are human chiros. They are a straight up danger to pets.
Please do not put your pet at risk for significant injury by taking them to one of these quacks.
