Chiropractors misrepresenting

[Guest guest]

Can anyone advise on the most efficient way to report misrepresentation of

chiropractors. The only success I've had in the past was through the APTA, but

they seemed to do it as a favor. They referred me to the Florida board, or CMS

and Im often told I must be an employee of the place or a patient to report

them. I have requested that this chiropractor office remove physical therapy

from the advertising on the web and the building but anticipate being ignored.

I'm very fed up with chiropractic offices using personal trainers and

chiropractic assistants to exercise their clients and call it physical therapy.

PT's need to be advocates, you could get online and pull up chiro offices in

minutes that have physical therapy advertised. Its everywhere. Sometimes we

focus on the bigger battles like reimbursement, and forget about other things

that pose a threat. Chiro's not only are misrepresenting themselves with this

practice, but misrepresent our profession, with dramatically lower skill sets -

trainers and chiro assistants.
