I am not sure how misalignment is used in this context...

As in out of alignment. The fix he does involves gentle pushing while I push back gently. Kind of like a chiropractor, but an MD, PhD.

One wonders how many decisions to operate are influenced by upcoming boat payments...

Yup. If it were about helping people, one would think they would guide you to the right place instead of just telling you to come back when ready for surgery.
