In the UK, for instance, chiropractors are regulated by statute and even have their own ?Royal College of Chiropractic?. In the US, chiropractic?s country of origin, most chiropractors carry the title ?doctor? and many consumers believe they are medically trained. Despite this high level of acceptance, chiropractic is wide open to criticism. The claims and assumptions made by chiropractors are far from evidence based. Chiropractic manipulations are of doubtful effectiveness and have regularly been associated with severe adverse effects, including multiple fatalities. The advice issued by chiropractors to patients and consumers is often less than responsible. The behaviour of chiropractors and their organisations is frequently less than professional. This book presents and discusses recent evidence in and around chiropractic in a factual and unemotional manner. It amounts to an evidence-based critique of this profession and discloses the often dangerously misleading information published for the lay audience. It thereby contributes to advancing public health and critical thinking. 606 $aMedicine  606 $aHealth 606 $aComplementary medicine 606 $aHealth psychology 606 $aBioethics 606 $aHealth economics 606 $aQuiropràxia$2thub 606 $aControvèrsies científiques$2thub 606 $aÈtica mèdica$2thub 606 $aPopular Science in Medicine and Health$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q14008 606 $aComplementary & Alternative Medicine$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H17007 606 $aHealth Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y12020 606 $aBioethics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E14010 606 $aHealth Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W35000 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aMedicine . 615 0$aHealth. 615 0$aComplementary medicine. 615 0$aHealth psychology. 615 0$aBioethics. 615 0$aHealth economics. 615 7$aQuiropràxia 615 7$aControvèrsies científiques 615 7$aÈtica mèdica 615 14$aPopular Science in Medicine and Health. 615 24$aComplementary & Alternative Medicine. 615 24$aHealth Psychology. 615 24$aBioethics. 615 24$aHealth Economics. 676 $a615.534 676 $a615.534 700 $aErnst$b Edzard$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0782220 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910416134103321 996 $aChiropractic$91997644 997 $aUNINA
