DIY Chiropractic?

I’ll refrain from making any comment or judgement, and will let the photo and description make their own impression:

    The web page says nothing about chiropractic; this is not chiropractic.

    While it bears a similarity to the concept of joint adjustments, I agree that the product page makes no claims that this is a chiropractic treatment. Perhaps the title of the post was misleading but I wished to post a link to a product which I personally found quite funny and which looked a little scary.

    On the topic of misleading, I’d pedantically note that it is not a truly “vertical traction kit”. Vertical would be this:

    In any case, it would seem that some chiropracters would not endorse the product, instead offering an alternative:

    I saw cervical traction with doorstop and began to worry as I was not thinking vertebrae at the first, and was nervous to click through. Silly me.

    For the record: I’m fairly certain no CAM practitioner would suggest THAT.

    Disturbing image.
