Can a chiropractor treat eczema?

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, Minnesota and Nebraska, where we read the published scope rules for these practitioners, skin conditions is not among the permitted categories of practice as we read them. 3 practitioners we analyzed advertise it anyway. Eczema, psoriasis, acne and rosacea are diagnosed and treated by dermatologists and physicians. Classifications reflect our review, not an adjudicated finding.
