Preston H. Long

4.9/5 (27440 ratings)

Description:News ReleaseNew Book Penetrates Chiropractic’s VeneerChiropractic Abuse—A Chiropractor’s Lament describes the life of a chiropractic expert and his fight against fraud, corruption, and abuse by chiropractors and explores how media apathy and political corruption have enabled Americans to be victimized by chiropractors. It also indicates what can be done to protect consumers and insurance companies. The book’s most powerful chapter—“Twenty Things Most Chiropractors Won’t Tell You”—includes these facts:• Chiropractic theory and practice are not based on the body of knowledge related to health, disease, and health care that has been widely accepted by the scientific community.• Many chiropractors promise too much.• Chiropractic education is vastly inferior to that of medical doctors.• Chiropractic’s legitimate scope is actually very narrow.• Very little of what chiropractors do has been studied.• Unless your diagnosis is obvious, it’s best to get diagnosed elsewhere.• Chiropractors offer lots of unnecessary services.• “Cracking” of the spine doesn’t mean much.• If the first few visits don’t help you, more treatment probably won’t help.• Chiropractors take too many x-rays.• Research on spinal manipulation does not reflect what takes place in most chiropractic offices.• Neck manipulation is potentially dangerous.• Most chiropractors don’t know much about nutrition.• Chiropractors who sell vitamins charge much more than it costs them.• Chiropractors have no business treating young children.• The fact that patients swear by us does not mean we are actually helping them.• Insurance companies don’t want to pay for chiropractic care.• Lots of chiropractors do really strange things.• Don’t expect chiropractic licensing boards to protect you.• The media rarely look at what chiropractors do wrong.Author Preston H. Long is a licensed chiropractor who resides in Tempe, Arizona. His professional career has spanned nearly 30 years. In addition to treating patients, he has testified at about 200 trials, performed more than 10,000 chiropractic case evaluations, and served as a consultant to several law enforcement agencies. He is also an associate professor at Bryan University, where he teaches in the master’s program in applied health informatics.The 160-page book, published by the American Council on Science and Health, is available through Amazon Books. The book was edited by Stephen Barrett, M.D., who operates Quackwatch.org, Chirobase.org, and 23 other consumer protection sites. Former National Council Against Health Fraud president William T. Jarvis, Ph.D., provided the foreword.For further information:• Preston H.
