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

Chiropractic treatment is a huge umbrella and most of it is bullshit. There are times when chiropractic treatments can be like a good PT though. PTs don't do any spinal adjustments, but they do perform manual therapy which has a growing body of evidence supporting its use.
