I'm so sorry that happened to your friend Desi.

That would have scared me off from trusting or trying any Chiropractors too.
But, doctors, surgeons and nurses can make mistakes too and we try not to condemn all because of very bad results by a few.
I'm sure there are good and bad ones out there...I found a good one.
Maureen,
After the traction machine injury did you try going back the the previous chiro?
Or only the elimination diet and juicing?
It would be a simple thing to try and most likely no side effects.
