Historic Court Decision in Brazil
Brazil's Supreme Federal Court has ruled in favor of the Brazilian Chiropractic Association, a decision that prohibits PTs from labeling themselves "Chiropractic Physiotherapists" and nullifies Proposition 220, which the Federation of Physical Therapy Licensing Boards had used to claim chiropractic as a PT specialty.
After the chiropractic profession's decade-long harassment by PTs in Brazil, this Supreme Court ruling at last gives Brazilian DCs the legal support they deserve.
