CHIROPRACTIC - EDZARD ERNST KARTONIERT (TB)

Of all forms of alternative medicine  chiropractic is the one that is most generally accepted.
In the UK  for instance  chiropractors are regulated by statute and even have their own 'Royal
College of Chiropractic'. 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. The claims and assumptions made by
chiropractors are far from evidence based. Chiropractic manipulations are of doubtful
effectiveness and have regularly been associated with severe adverse effects  including
multiple fatalities. 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.
