Apparently chiropractors in Canada and elsewhere are being told, even by their own representative bodies, to stop advertising their services as a treatment for covid-19 in response to a number of complaints. Harsh.
I suppose we should be encouraged that they draw the line......somewhere.
This lie, too muchI read this. Its very embarrassing that we have
kooks like this within the ranks, but I have to admit we have them. In the 38 yrs of practise I've never treated or claimed to be able to treat anything else but musculo-skeletal conditions. There are about 2000 chiropractors in Ontario and the association has sent out 54 cease orders, so its a very small % that give the rest of us a bad name. I closed my practise down last week to protect my patients but some are still open AFAIK.
This unfortunately happens in quite a few care giving professions professions. I used to work with a guy who did some Chinese massage, took hip 6 moths part time to get the certificate. He claimed to be a massage therapist, as convenient for him. RMTs must have insurance, but then he said he is not an RMT. He does massage, just like RMT. But when it comes to paying for continuing education credit courses, well, he is not quite an RMT. RMTs must display visibly their work permit, well, he is not required to display it because he is not regulated. But when it comes to charging clients, he had RMT prices. But did not give receipts because, you know, he is not quite the same as RMTs. Holly shit.
