You run the risk of having ligamentous laxity with continued spinal manipulation.
Once every month and a half isnt going to induce ligamentous laxity. And like I said before, Ive had plain soft tissue work done when I knew my hips or part of my spine was 'out of alignment' and the soft tissue was just very temporary whereas getting adjusted fixed the problem and let me regain mobility.
