title: Chiropractic.
abstract: The chiropractic is a health care profession that offers and purveys a distinctive treatment act. When reduced to its methodology, the chiropractic is hard pressed to demonstrate effectiveness. But as a treatment act, it has gained wide acceptance. The challenge raised in this discussion relates to the "moral hazard" of including the chiropractic treatment act in more general health insurance policies.
