  1. Insignificant “Treatment of non-musculoskeletal conditions represents an economically insignificant part of chiropractic practice – indeed, practice in these areas by chiropractors has delayed their general acceptance by the medical profession and the public.” __________________________________ David Chapman-Smith Secretary General – World Federation of Chiropractic In: The Chiropractic Profession.

  3. “The concept is not unique to chiropractic.

Published by NCMIC Subluxation Not Unique

  4. Protect the Public – From What?

  5. “What is an appropriate number and frequency of treatments for a patient with acute, uncomplicated low back pain, another with chronic headaches and a third wanting preventive care? At one end of the scale there are horror stories of patients consulting a chiropractor who says that 100 treatments will be necessary to solve the complex problems of their spines, and that they can open up lump sum trust accounts at the office to cover payment. If this happens, refuse treatment, warn your friends and then call the state regulatory board.” ____________________________ David Chapman-Smith Secretary General – World Federation of Chiropractic In: The Chiropractic Profession. Published by NCMIC Horror Stories

  6. Currently there is limited public support for the idea that chiropractic care improves overall health ________________________________________ World Federation of Chiropractic - Identity Consultation WFC Assembly - Sydney, Australia - June 15, 2005 Little Public Support

  7. “Some patients will only require one or a few treatments. If there is documented improvement after 4 weeks, but not complete relief of symptoms or restored function, the course of manipulation may continue. Typically it should end within 8 weeks for uncomplicated conditions, within 16 weeks for other conditions unless there has been major trauma or complications.” ___________________________________________ David Chapman-Smith Secretary General – World Federation of Chiropractic In: The Chiropractic Profession.
