Chiropractic the greatest hoax of the Century?

This book exposes the practice of chiropractic as a false health care practice that has flourished basically unchallenged over the past century The conclusion drawn ,as corraborated by a survey of 27 American Medical College deans, is that there is no scientific validity to the ill- defined chiropractic theory of a vertebral body subluxation pressing on a nerve and interfering with the passage of energy down that nerve to various organs of the body thereby causing disease, and that such disease can be treated by chiropractic adjustments of these subluxations or that chiropractic can cure disease or promote wellness in any way. The various controversial events involving chiropracticare covered such as the Wilk vs the AMA,Consumer Reports, the AHCP&R Guidelines for Acute Low Back Pain, and the AMA position, and the opinions of health care leaders like C.Evertt Koop, former Surgeon General, Dr George Lundberg former editor of JAMA and Dr.Paul Shekelle of the Rand Corporation. The book is written in clearly understandable language providing a well documented body of information for doctors who may also wish to leave the book in their waiting rooms;for pharmacists, physical therapists, nurses,and the rest of the health care community,- and most of all for all those who would like to know the scientific truth about this practice.
