Stop the hate. Chiropractor, although I've noticed that a lot of people have more trouble after seeing one. Chiropractor is a health care profession whose purpose is to diagnose and treat mechanical disorders of the spine and musculoskeletal system with the intention of affecting the nervous system and improving health.
Today there are four main groups of chiropractors: "traditional straights", "objective straights", "mixers", and "reform".
While some chiropractors use the term vertebral subluxation to describe what they treat, others have dropped this concept and concentrate mostly on the musculoskeletal components of spinal injury and rehabilitation of the spine.
. chirobase is another of Barrett's many sites. for the facts on Barrett, et al go to
http://www.canlyme.com/quackwatch.html
the definitive article at chirobase was published in 1924 in a newspaper! try http://naccam.nih.gov and follow the links to chiropractors' education and training. Methinks the National Institute of Health gives more up to date information

posted web page is report of court proceedings in which Barrett said he failed board examination.. Has naught to do with anyone's opinion.
Kalos, no insinuation has been made regarding Barrett's license. He is quoted from court proceedings. If he received his training before there were Board Certifications, his "data" is more than 50 years old. Quack
ADDED:
Freetochoose is getting desperate. Barrett is very successful at exposing quacks and charlatans. Freetochoose doesn't like that, so he posts bogus character assassination webpages that have been refuted elsewhere.
*Freetosmeer insinuates Barrett is a phony because he is not Board Certified. Actually, Barrett served a full residency in Psychiatry, and most of his career was in a period when Board Certification was not required or even common.
Quackwatch and Barrett have won many awards for public service. Altmed cranks slime honorable men like Barrett because that's the only answer they have. It's a form of cowardice. |
