Chiropractic: Not All That Its Cracked Up to Be Ernst Edzard
Of all forms of alternative medicine, chiropractic is the one that is most generally accepted. In the US, chiropractic's country of origin, most chiropractors carry the title 'doctor' and many consumers believe they are medically trained.Despite this high level of acceptance, chiropractic is wide open to criticism. In the UK, for instance, chiropractors are regulated by statute and even have their own 'Royal College of Chiropractic'.
Chiropractic manipulations are of doubtful effectiveness and have regularly been associated with severe adverse effects, including multiple fatalities. The claims and assumptions made by chiropractors are far from evidence based. The advice issued by chiropractors to patients and consumers is often less than responsible.
The behaviour of chiropractors and their organisations is frequently less than professional.This book presents and discusses recent evidence in and around chiropractic in a factual and unemotional manner. It amounts to an evidence-based critique of this profession and discloses the often dangerously misleading information published for the lay audience. It thereby contributes to advancing public health and critical thinking.
