Cracked: The Evidence Behind the Manipulation

The most popular back-pain treatment in the world rests on something no one has ever been able to find. A chiropractor once attempted the wrong treatment on a teenager's fractured spine — that teenager grew up to become a Doctor of Physical Therapy, and spent the next thirty years asking one question: what does the evidence actually say about spinal manipulation?

512 pages · 350+ cited sources · fair where the evidence is mixed, unflinching where it isn't. Available now on Kindle — softcover and hardcover coming soon.
