"Ask a Doctor of Chiropractic" Forum Needs Volunteers

Editorial Staff

Ask a Doctor of Chiropractic is a public forum on ChiroWeb (www.chiroweb.com/find/ask.html) where people post generic questions about chiropractic. The two doctors of chiropractic who have been generously volunteering their time to answer these inquires are George Best, and Allen Manison.

These doctors need your help. "It's gotten to the point where I'm often spending as much as one to two hours per day answering questions," relates Dr. Best. "Some days the load is pretty light, but more and more frequently there are several questions that require fairly in-depth responses."

DCs who volunteer will have their photos and biographies presented on the "Ask a Doctor of Chiropractic" site. If you can help answer questions from patients and potential patients, please contact us at editorial@mpamedia.com.

Because they have yet to pass national legislation protecting the chiropractic profession, Japanese DCs are in a similar situation that U.S. DCs faced. We were fortunate enough to be able to pass chiropractic licensure state by state. The DCs in Japan must accomplish this nationally, which has proved to be an extremely difficult task. And in spite of their efforts, Japanese DCs are currently faced with two chiropractic professions.

Chiropractic at Risk Globally
Chiropractic at Risk Globally

There has long been an attempt by those who are not legitimate doctors of chiropractic to usurp the title of chiropractor from those who have earned their degree from an accredited chiropractic program. This generally happens in countries where the local doctors of chiropractic have yet to pass legislation requiring a degree from an accredited institution. The result is essentially two chiropractic professions. Nowhere is this danger more pronounced than in Japan.
