Chiropractic Under Attack - NYK to
the Rescue
Recently, there has been a buzz of news
stories that attack chiropractic and claim that chiropractic is dangerous
and unnecessary. The news stories seemed to be timed together to try to
scare people about chiropractic while claiming it is not needed. Below are
several links to some of these news stories.
From this two pronged attack, it is easy to
see that the "stroke" issue is designed to scare the public, while the
"unnecessary care" issue is aimed at lawmakers. While the national and
local chiropractic associations are addressing the "unnecessary care"
issue with the lawmakers, the individual practitioner needs additional
ammunition to address the safety issue with patients.

up and is providing all of our subscribers information that helps fight
the safety issue. NYK has created a "Chiropractic is Safe" page
