| 100. Yep. But what they "diagnose" depends on their referral source. |

Many are linked with shady doctors and lawyers who are accident vultures. They watch automobile accident reports and will barrage all parties with letters begging them to come in to diagnose spinal or neck "injuries you may not even know you have."
Others work closely with homeopaths or "energy therapists" to diagnose and heal spinal ailments that don't exist.
I know of a couple who refer back and forth with repressed memory therapists. Women creating abuse memories in therapy are told they have a "tilted pelvis" related to all the abuse.
