I hope Rik is going to be okay. I would like to insist on taking him to a GP for a second opinion, regardless of what the chiropractor decides, however. Chiropractic is a pseudoscience, and whether he's got an x-ray machine or not doesn't mean he's medically qualified to "align" his back. At best a chiropractor is an overspecialized physical therapist or therapeutic masseuse, and more typically they are con men and quacks.
