Since those early years, many of these criticisms have remained, but legislation, licensure, and litigation have created an environment where chiropractic care is allowed in all 50 states, and licenses are required of all chiropractors who wish to practice medicine.The implementation of the Affordable Care Act has changed the way insurance companies provide reimbursement for services by medical providers. With a greater emphasis on administratively documenting how and in what ways a particular form of treatment actually improves a patient's health, coupled with a greater level of restriction on the types of services medical providers can offer without justification and authorization, many medical providers, including chiropractors, have had to re-examine the services they provide and how they operate.This study attempts to explore \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBased on the existing research literature and empirical evaluation, this book sheds light on an industry that has long existed in the shadows. It answers questions that many of us have asked, and in doing so is an extremely useful work that should be read by anyone considering chiropractic treatment and others interested in better understanding health care. McNamara’s research-based approach is refreshing as he overcomes various obstacles in assembling a comprehensive account of an industry that has operated without much scrutiny. -- Ronald Burns, Texas Christian University\u003cbr\u003eMcNamara is a fine story teller, and in many ways, gives us a wealth of information on the scientific merits of chiropractic medicine. Even though we are left at times distressed by some of the findings, the book is compulsively engaging.  McNamara writes with lucidity, passion, and keen knowledge; he engages our collective conscience in a way that helps us understand the world of chiropractic medicine. This book is a dynamic study of a relatively unknown profession. -- Terry Williams, The New School\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface Acknowledgments Chapter One: Introduction and Methods Chapter Two: History of Chiropractic Medicine Chapter Three: The Cast and Setting Chapter Four: Scope of Practice Chapter Five: The Joint Chapter Six: Chiropractic Colleges Chapter Seven: Health Care Reform Chapter Eight: Conclusion","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040860406103,"sku":"9781498591409","price":81.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781498591409.jpg?v=1750948093","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/chiropractic-medicine-9781498591409","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
