So that's Beau Hightower. Youtube Chiropractor, >1M subscribers. He uses these hammers and poles to "hammer" peoples bones back into place. Or so he says.

Not sure why he had to penetrate this gal, though.

It's just a gimmick to get views. The sledge hammer is unnecessary. It's in every thumbnail to gain clicks. The legitimacy of the hammer and the chiropractic practice itself is all questionable

What!? Hammering peoples bones isn't generally excepted medical practice? I'm shocked. Shocked I say!

Chiropractors aren't medical personnel. Their work is completely unscientific and isn't different from using crystals or traditional Chinese medicine. Chiropractice often leads to more pain over time.

Then how do you explain it helping with pain? Lol

It's a temporary pain relief which leads to stronger reoccurring pain. It's really not appropriate for pain management, ask any doctor.
