Guest guest Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Had an MVA yesterday who went to the college of NCNM for and eval. (his wife is a student there). He was seen by a student clinician who performed manipulation on him. Do they attain enough hours in school for this? I thought they had to get outside training to perform this. A little dangerous to be having students of Naturopathy manipulate an acute whiplash no?? Without Xray or recommendation to see a chiro. Student actually recommended more treatment with him, but luckily someone else told him to have it done right at a DC's office. wow. ph Medlin D.C.Spine Tree Chiropractic1607 NE Alberta St. PDX, OR 97211www.spinetreepdx.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Below are ORS for Naturopathic Doctors, certainly students would be more restricted, the statute states: 685.030 Application of chapter. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to: (1) Apply to any physician and surgeon, osteopath or chiropractor, or to any Christian Scientist or other person who by religious or spiritual means endeavors to prevent or cure disease or suffering in accord with the tenets of any church. (2) Authorize licensees to practice optometry or administer chiropractic adjustments, or any system or method of treatment not authorized in this chapter, or to administer or write prescriptions for or dispense drugs, or do major surgery except that naturopathic physicians are not prohibited from recommending the use of specific and appropriate over-the-counter pharmaceuticals for their patients, or from prescribing codeine sulfate or codeine phosphate in an appropriate and safe manner. (3) Prevent a licensee under this chapter from the administration of the anesthetics or antiseptics authorized in ORS 685.010 (4), from ordering diagnostic tests, or from the use of radiopaque substances administered by mouth or rectum necessary for Roentgen diagnostic purposes.
