Yes, I know they advertise and tell you they can treat just about anything: diabetes, bed wetting, learning disabilities...well, you get the idea. Folks, they can't treat spit.Hey, most studies indicate that they can't even treat lower back pain much better than a little bed rest and the passage of time. Oh, well.Anyway, I remember someone who once said, Hey, I went to see Carl today. Oh, who is

Back in my day doctors, dentists, and lawyers just didn't advertise. Yes, there were prohibitions against it. Today, all professions seem to advertise, though there are still quite a few folks who just have your basic name, address, and so on.Anyway, I just visited David Singer Enterprises. Yes, this is a practice building outfit. You guessed it, they solicit business from chiropractors. Hmmm.

The Virginia Department of Health Professions, is directly responsible for making sure its citizens have a safe environment which they can seek health care. Later, we'll take a look to see if they are living up to their mission......This is their mission as shown on their Web site.....To enhance the delivery of safe and competent health care by licensing qualified health care professionals,

All states have a regulatory board that's responsible for making sure that the citizens can feel safe, when seeking treatments from medical practitioners. Every medical occupation has its scope of practice.Chapter 29 of Title 54.1 of the Code of Virginia Medicine§ 54.1-2900. Definitions."Practice of chiropractic" means the adjustment of the 24 movable vertebrae of the spinal column, and assisting

That is the $64,000 Question. I guess that my basic hypothesis is, Little if any of what a chiropractor does is of any diagnostic, medical, therapeutic, or treatment value.For most of us I guess we'd say, Hey, (in my case) the Commonwealth of Virginia gives these people the privilege to wear white coats and call themselves doctors. I surely must be wrong. The Commonwealth has an obligation to

Good question. I will readily admit that I have absolutely no medical training. In fact, I made it through college without taking science classes of any kind. Physics? Nope. Biology? No. Chemistry or physiology? Again, no.I contend that anyone with a speck of common sense and an IQ of at least room temperature, who reads a little, surfs the Web for readily available information about chiropractic
