Chiropractic Truth in Advertising

[CurtC]

The following ad was in a local community magazine. I've added the rectangle to emphasize the good part.

Sorry for the blurriness - I had to squeeze the image to get it under the 25Kbyte limit. Or is there a way to attach larger images?

You should check your chiropractic licensing boards acceptable claims, and advertising restrictions, if applicable. The Bioscan thing looks illegal, overall it does not look good.

Actually, I think this ad is perfectly truthful and legal.

Notice it says maximize your healthcare needs, not maximize your health.

An important distinction, I think. If one relies on this type of treatment, ones need for healthcare will be maximized

The Insight Millenium machine got a right panning somewhere else here on this forum, I vaguely seem to recall. Perhaps I should search for it...

No, its much better than that. Chiros, barely trained in human systems, can also treat dogs and cats and horses... just about any animal. Visit any large dog show in the NY/New England region to see a collection of doggie massage therapists, doggie chiropractors, and doggie acupuncturists. You can also get package deals if you pick up the coupon when you register. Its called "Leaky Water Balloon," and offfers to turn your dog into a relaxed, happy, water-filled pin cushion by day's end for only $25. Great deal.

actually, Billhoyt, I do know chiros have treated other animals. I was just wondering Chiro was so easy that a DOG could do it.

That aqua massage sounds great. I want one.

Do most chiropractors do massage? My insurance will cover a set amount for massage, and a set amount for chiropractic. I'll never use the chiro (or the homeo, osteo, acupunture, etc), but I figure I could maybe double my massage allowance

New boards for discussing chiroquacks. Looks interesting enough. Might want to try the question there.

Chiropractic exists only to justify delivering manipulations to patients and is not science based.

wow... I like this site so far

well, except for the "Find a chiropractor" search site ad... hm.

At which time you will be miraculously cured!.......but not one appointment, I mean moment, sooner!

edit to add:
until your insurances fiscal year cycles through, and you become afflicted again!
