What else is advertised as treatable in children?

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 Minnesota and Missouri, where we read the published scope rules for these practitioners, other conditions advertised for children is not among the permitted categories of practice as we read them. 2 practitioners we analyzed advertise it anyway. Claims that name a child audience alongside a condition from a lower group. They appear here as well as under the condition itself, because the affected population is what sets the ranking. Classifications reflect our review, not an adjudicated finding.
