"I Suspect You'll Be Attacked by the 'Experts'"
Dear Editor:
Thank you for the article, "Osteopaths Aren't Afraid; Are We?" [Read Don Petersen Jr.'s Report of Findings in the August 2021 issue.] I suspect that you'll be attacked by the "experts" at the ACA and chiropractic schools. It is not clear to me how those chiropractic "leaders" distinguish their vision of chiropractic from the physical therapy profession.
Given this, and especially in that the PTs are largely embraced by the predominant medical establishment, it is difficult to see why a young person would choose to pursue a career in the ACA's version of chiropractic rather than as a PT.
