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, Missouri and Tennessee, as in every state, a chiropractic license covers the spine, joints and muscles, not PANS and PANDAS. 3 practitioners we analyzed advertise it anyway. PANS and PANDAS are paediatric neuropsychiatric syndromes managed by paediatric specialists, usually with infectious disease, immunology or neurology input. Diagnosing or treating them sits outside a chiropractic license. Classifications reflect our review, not an adjudicated finding.
