Can a chiropractor treat neuropathy?

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, where we read the published scope rules for these practitioners, neuropathy is not among the permitted categories of practice as we read them. 2 practitioners we analyzed advertise it anyway. Peripheral neuropathy is investigated by neurologists for diabetic, autoimmune, toxic and nutritional causes. Classifications reflect our review, not an adjudicated finding.
