Sorry to get off topic but this needed to be addressed.
You probably heard this with regards to chronic back pain. Do not let a chiropractor EVER mess with anyone who has any acute problem with their vertebrae. High velocity maneuvers on an unstable spine spells disaster.
A chiropractor's place is with chronic low back pain and pretty much nothing else. For clearly minor acute MSK strain I personally have found they also do a pretty good job. For anyone requiring surgery from spondylolysis or even spondylolisthesis do not let your patient go to a chiropractor first.
Most dangerous surgeries are anything in which the surgeon is trying to catch up: Major trauma, disections, ruptures aneurysms, etc. The process has already started to compromise the patients.
Things like normal aneurism repairs, while risky are no where near as bad as when the aneurism has already ruptured
