Oh, look at Alex, the Adjustment Snapper, flexing those spine-crunching vibes on TikTok! No pills, no panels, no pyramid schemes—just pure, unadulterated 'whoosh' as the vertebrae pop. A rare, boring chiropractor who stays in their lane and doesn't try to sell you a 'root cause' detox tea. How utterly disappointing for a grifter; what a wasted commercial opportunity!

Direct answer
Alex is licensed in California as a chiropractor (DC), not as an MD or DO, and California's chiropractic scope statute (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 16, § 302(a)(3), (7)) limits that license to musculoskeletal care, not the diagnosis or treatment of systemic disease. Even so, they advertise diagnosing or treating Strengthens immune system, Improves nervous system function, Relieves/Improves Prenatal Discomfort, Speeds up the recovery process, and Arthritis, conditions that belong with rheumatologists.
