Tier 3 · Cancer

Can a chiropractor treat cancer?

Conditions that named non-physician doctors, mostly chiropractors, list as things they treat, grouped by who is most at risk if the advertised care is wrong. Every name links to the full dossier, the page it was said on, and the state rule we read it against.

All conditions

In Kansas and Minnesota, as in every state, a chiropractic license covers the spine, joints and muscles, not cancer. 6 practitioners we analyzed advertise it anyway. Cancer is diagnosed and treated by oncologists, surgeons and haematologists. Diagnosing, treating or offering an alternative to cancer treatment sits outside a chiropractic license, and delay is the harm regulators name most often. Classifications reflect our review, not an adjudicated finding.
