What are HNers thoughts about public chiropractors that record and publish their treatments and results?

I still remember Ian Rossborough (even though he got suspended after adjusting a baby) and his famous video

making a boy walk straight in 10 days.

Honest question, is this a stunt? Scam? Fake? Magic? Bullshit?

Hard to pick just one.

The "got suspended after adjusting a baby" line is -- you have to admit -- a bit of a red flag.

I watched until he asks about continuing the first correction and then after the kid agrees he whacks him in the back from the other side of the the body. He can’t even fully see where he’s is striking. Like some sort of magic martial artist. I’d call it bullshit.

Is that on 2:40?

Isn't that just a strike on kid's lower vertebra, where he holds his fingers beforehand?

Why wouldn't you adjust his back to be facing you where you could accurately strike? Instead he does a reach-around strike which would be less accurate and would reduce the effectiveness and efficiency of said "fix". It's things like this where injuries probably stem from a person who is "trained to punch you in the lower back", considering this person doesn't have doctorate or nearly the extensive training to use physical abuse to fix someones back.

I almost wanted to share that video over here too, but I Ctrl+F "Ian" and saw that you did that first
