Medicine stopped fighting health cults so they are proliferating: Why this is a bad thing Have you ever considered that many chiropractic colleges area actually health cults that indoctrinate students using cult mind control to serve their organizations? I am not saying this lightly and I...

If anyone wants an inside look at typical chiropractor's mentality these two threads are good (see below). To summarize, chiropractors are great at SMT, PTs are terrible (false). Chiropractic techniques are based on valid biomechanics and have good reliability (false). PTs aren't better at...

The Reddit group from where that post was taken is actually a group of "evidence-based" mixer chiropractors who teach rehabilitation courses through seminars, exactly what is being criticized here, so it's no wonder they were hostile. Still, a serious group concerned about rehabilitation should...

In case anyone is interested in how chiropractors respond to criticism, I posted a link to this thread on the Reddit Chiropractic Forum. The comments from chiropractors were immediately defensive, alarming and unprofessional. Most of the comments lacked any understanding of the content of the...

I've been thinking about this PTA-E program. I don't think it would work for most of the chiropractors as they can just make more money keeping their DC offices open (except for the defectors who went to weak programs and the ones stuck as low salary associates) because most of them don't...

The public relations campaign plus an army of vocal disgruntled former DCs turned PTA-Es could be a huge blow to any claims of superiority by the chiropractic profession. It could result in huge losses for chiropractic colleges and offices. Implementation of PTA-E upgrade programs at medical...

Assuming this fictional scenario where a APTA public education campaign resulted in a surplus of unemployed chiropractors and former chiropractic patients this could be addressed by having institutions offer student loan forgiveness and tuition reimbursement in exchange for a time commitment to...

Review this two hour NCHS course on Active Therapy and compare it to the depth of general and OCS physical therapy training. List your impressions below. ATP6604 Active Care Do you feel that the American Physical Therapy Association APTA should take a more aggressive stance and start a...

Both chiropractors and physical therapists compete for the same pool of rehabilitation patients but there are some important differences. Many chiropractors also claim to offer rehabilitation in addition to passive spinal manipulation. Let's look at the data. Physical Therapy Evidence-based...

Hello everyone. I am deeply concerned about the covid-19 pandemic. I have maintained an interest in nutrition for over a decade and probably contracted covid-19 myself about 16 days ago in Durham, NC. My case was mild, with about 25% respiratory impairment at its worst on the seventh day of...

Ask the makeup artist to do it outside and meet somewhere, shoot them and post.

Maybe someone else can do it. Someone ask your field administrator to put you in touch with the simulated patient artists.
