Can a chiropractor treat MCAS?

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 Florida, Kansas, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Tennessee, as in every state, a chiropractic license covers the spine, joints and muscles, not MCAS. 5 practitioners we analyzed advertise it anyway. Mast cell activation syndrome is diagnosed by allergists and immunologists using specific laboratory criteria. Classifications reflect our review, not an adjudicated finding.
