14. " The 3 bulging disks and a herniated disk all in a row in her lower back."

I am so sorry to hear about this.. In a perfect world this should not happen but it does. I had an acquaintance that was (re:was) a chiropractor. He got very disillusioned with the field as it seemed to him it was just a means to make a ton of money. All the seminars were how to attract patients and "keep them on the hook" to extract the most money out of each visit and keep them coming back. Not much on helping patients.
He has since stopped practicing Chiropractic medicine.
If you are just getting people in to "rackem' and crackem'" you are bound to manipulate someone who needs further medical attention beyond chiropractic. Don't get me wrong, I've gone to some very good chiro's who helped but it did not last long. A few even told me it was beyond their scope and needed to see a neuro surgeon or orthopedic doc. If I can help it I tend to stay away from them all but that's me.. I feel so bad about your step daughter and hope all comes out well..
