What we are all entitled to is our opinions. However, our scope of practice is what the profession has been based and founded in.

No matter how many people want to CHANGE the profession into what may be called a wide scope, it is including things that are not in our scope. That is why it is not chiropractic, nor has to do with adjusting.

If someone wants to become an M.D., P.T., or an Acupunturist, please do. Enjoy the benefits that may bring to your practice.

If you are a Chiropractor, be one with pride, and understand the best thing YOU can do for your patient is adjust them. There are things that can be done to facilitate the adjustment, which I personally do not use, but are completely valid. Traction, ice/heat...the long list can be found in a previous post. If the patient needs medical care, or P.T. for that matter, send them to one.
