Paul - Congratulations on finding out in time about your prostate cancer. I had a chiropractor tell me to get an x-ray of my lower back (he sent me to a firm that specializes in imaging), and found the reasons why my legs hurt so much was that I had too much plaque in my abdominal aorta. So a reputable chiro won't take advantage. Best to you.
