To achieve that delivery the provider needs to have attained a certain acceptable formal relevant, separate, specific standard of qualification. To do what an osteopath or chiropractor does is clearly spelt out by state and territorial legislation. This legislative flaw opens a loophole for charlatans to emulate what chiropractors do and charge for the service. I understand that consumers, Medicare, Comcare, state third party insurers have no way of differentiating the charlatan from the suitably qualified medical manipulator. It would be constructive to publish that gold standard as a routine part of the COCA News.
Many people do a great deal of good work without just applause.
Your efforts deserve commendation. There may be some misunderstanding here, COCA does not encourage the use of S.M.T. by other health care providers, but hopes to encourage communication between disciplines.
