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, Tennessee and Wisconsin, where we read the published scope rules for these practitioners, PANS and PANDAS is not among the permitted categories of practice as we read them. 4 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.
