Chiropractic myths debunked

Home » Alternative Medicine » Blog » Chiropractic myths debunked

A recent billboard advertisement, carried on the side of a bus in Bridgeport, Conn., is the latest in a series of attacks on chiropractic that use scare tactics and misinformation to undermine the growth of the profession, according to the World Chiropractic Alliance (WCA).

The advertisement, which asks "Injured by a chiropractor?" directs readers to a website run by an organization calling itself the "Chiropractic Stroke Victims Awareness Group." No information is available in the ad or at the website as to who finances the group.

WCA President Terry A. Rondberg, DC, noted that he wasn't surprised by the aggressive attack. "In recent years, chiropractic has made tremendous inroads into the American health care system. The increased popularity of a wellness approach that doesn't rely on drugs and surgery is very threatening to some elements of our society. They have a huge financial interest in eliminating chiropractic."
