Looking for a few good ... chiropractors

[unixronin]

I want to find a good chiropractor in Southern New Hampshire.  Specifically, I want to find a chiropractor like the two GOOD ones I knew in San Jose, California.  A chiropractor who isn't into all the new-age holistic stuff, won't try to glue magnets to my back or sell me energized water, doesn't think that conventional medicine is "death medicine" and that vaccinations are deadly, won't lie to me about X-rays when I can see perfectly clearly he's drawing lines between two different sets of reference points to try to show a result that isn't true, won't try to treat my back pain by giving me electric shocks in my earlobe, and won't try to tell me that wearing a ball cap weighted with 6lb of lead will make my vision sharper.  I just want a chiropractor who knows the spine and skeleton, knows his drop table, and isn't afraid to use it.  Preferably, one who won't get bent out of shape when I say "Look, I know exactly what the problem is, I just can't treat it myself."

Anyone have any recommendations or referrals...?

'"Quod si exceptio facit ne liceat, ubi non sit exceptum." ... Cicero said, if you prohibit something in certain cases, you imply that the rest of the time it's permitted.' (http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a3_201.html)

If this explanation is to be believed, the saying is a legal thing and thus has little to do with logic.

I think this is a case of dragging in an apparently-related saying which doesn't, in point of fact, actually have direct bearing on the original subject of discussion. I notice, though, that in Cecil's discussion of this divergence into Cicero, he does eventually come back to the idea that the underlying concept is "the exception tests the rule".

The Cicero "Quod si exceptio..." quotation is really something almost entirely separate from this concept -- it's not saying that finding an exception either proves or tests (or disproves) a rule, it's saying that in the field of law, explicitly declaring exceptions to a rule strongly implies that the rule applies in all cases but the enumerated exceptions. Which isn't the same thing at all.
