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.
In Kansas, Minnesota and Wisconsin, where we read the published scope rules for these practitioners, concussion is not among the permitted categories of practice as we read them. 4 practitioners we analyzed advertise it anyway. Concussion and traumatic brain injury are assessed by physicians. Some rehabilitation is shared care, while diagnosis and acute management are not part of a chiropractic license. Classifications reflect our review, not an adjudicated finding.
The rule each row was read against, in the state where that practitioner is licensed.
