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 and Minnesota, as in every state, a chiropractic license covers the spine, joints and muscles, not osteoporosis. 3 practitioners we analyzed advertise it anyway.

Classifications reflect our review, not an adjudicated finding.
The rule each row was read against, in the state where that practitioner is licensed.
