Chiropractors have gotten pretty corrupt over the years. There needs to be better regulations, I myself am suffering from the neglect actions of a Chiropractor in Twin Falls Idaho.
Chiropractors are not what they used to be, like in the 1970's and before. By the 1980's, there were fewer and fewer good, old-fashioned Chiropractors.
Back in the 1970's, Chiropractors wanted to fix you so you didn't have to go back. Now days, they want you on a permanent return schedule, at a very high cost!
It hasn't. The evidence is sparse, and that's for problems within their purview. Even the single study Klar cited - “Impact of Chiropractic Care on Use of Prescription Opioids in Patients with Spinal Pain," failed to account for selection bias and multiple residual confounders.
But most US chiropractors claim to address just about every medical issue. It's unfortunate they've turned their own profession into cash-extracting quackery.
There are two ways Doctors of Chiropractic are discriminated against.
One is denial of coverage.
The second equally effective discrimination strategy is reimbursement rate.
For decades Chiropractic compensation has been a tiny fraction of their Medical competitors. Government attempts to regulate services, determining the definition and time increments alloted. The system is totally broken.
A strong case is made that individuals should simply pay for needed or desired care.
There is no such thing as "chiropractic medicine", that term is self contradictory.
Seeing the ICA and the ACA joining forces is a first.
Doctors of Chiropractic and Medical Doctors have a nearly identical education in the basic sciences.
Chiropractors have many courses in Nutrition. Medical Doctors by training are illiterate in nutrition often totally biased against, opting for the script pad. Post grad ed that is nutrition orientated is common in the Chiropractic profession.
Medical Docs are trained Pharmacology, and scripting preferentially.
In a fair world seniors should have access to licensed health care providers of choice with similar reimbursement rates. A level playing field. That day comes not soon enough.
MAHA is now collaborating in several important arenas. Bravo.
There are some good chiropractors. I would love to see Naturalpathic Doctors added. They go thru the same education as regular Doctors, plus additional nutrition etc.
I have been under chiropractic care for over 50 years. So many people think it's quackery buying into the AMA propaganda. It makes perfect sense that all the nerves run through the spinal cord for a reason(protection) Many of my acquaintances feel that joint replacement is normal.
Prevention through spinal manipulation can allow nerve flow to extremities leading to better health, balance and reduction in falls
The spinal cord carries information from the body to brain and back again. When it has interference, like a pinched nerve, it affects many other parts of the body.
That's pseudoscientific rhetoric. Enjoy some more ...
"Healthy circulation isn't just about blood. The body also depends on the efficient movement of bioelectrical signals, which can become congested over time."
"The fascia forms a continuous information network throughout the body. Restrictions in one area can disrupt wellness in distant regions."
"The body's communication pathways rely on uninterrupted energy flow. Even subtle blockages can create ripple effects throughout multiple organ systems."
"Small imbalances in the nervous system can gradually throw the body's natural healing rhythms out of sync, leading to seemingly unrelated symptoms."
"Every cell has a vibrational signature. When those frequencies become misaligned, the body struggles to maintain optimal function."
I would love to see this pass. I've seen a chiropractor on and off for years, who has helped me overcome back pain and sciatica, among other things. He also provides spinal decompression and physical therapy. But he doesn't take Medicare, and I can't afford him anymore. I don't know if this bill would change that.
Always remember the WILK case 5 DC plaintiffs won against the AMA and other medical entities accused of decades and decades on anti competitive corrupt actions.
Chiropractic and every other healing modality was eliminated from the curriculum in med schools in 1910, because of the Flexner Report. The Carnegie Foundation, which produced the report, along with John D. Rockefeller, promoted his patented petroleum-based drugs as the basis of medicine. His petroleum-based drugs were not evaluated to even see if they were effective. Petroleum was not something, which would even belong in the body. John D. Rockefeller promoted the AMA, getting doctors to join by promising them Higher Income and Prestige; nothing about better health for their patients. if nutrition had been in the curriculum, doctors would have learned that the bloodstream was designed to carry nutrients in food that would nourish the organs, glands and cells providing health and energy; any other matter would break them down. Medicare today is primarily the largest drug dealership in America.
This would be awesome! It's about time!

Just because got a bad one doesn't mean the whole system needs changing. I think you need better judgement in picking a Chiropractor
Chiropractors are not what they used to be, like in the 1970's and before. By the 1980's, there were fewer and fewer good, old-fashioned Chiropractors.

YES!! It is proven to help many1

This is great. I’m with the NHF National Health Federation that saved the chiropractic profession back in the 60’s.
And functional medicine

"Prevention through spinal manipulation can allow nerve flow to extremities leading to better health, balance and ..."
There is no evidence for this, or even any physiological basis for this sort of claim.
Energy!

Bioelectrical = Energy!
A better idea is end the mandatory use of Medicare. Think of how much money will be saved. 🤬

A chiropractor help me tremendously after a serious car accident.
