Members voluntarily restrict their practice to neuromusculoskeletal conditions.
Spinal manipulative procedures are recognized only for the treatment of some neuromusculoskeletal conditions of musculoskeletal origin. Spinal manipulative procedures or the manipulation of any of the articulations of the human body shall be by hand only and may not be done by machines or mechanical devices. Spinal manipulative procedures are known to be first diagnostic and then may be therapeutic. If no improvement occurs within this time frame, all treatment should cease for reassessment and consultation with an appropriate medical specialist. A treatment protocol should clearly be established based on physical examination findings, subjective response, judicious re-evaluation and this should be documented in daily treatment assessment notes made by the attending physician.
