- Description
- n the current regulatory environment of the United States of America (USA) there is ongoing debate and battles fought over manipulation, involving primarily the Chiropractic (DC) and Physical Therapy (PT) professions, but also Medical Physicians (MD) and Osteopaths (DO). Examples for PT include the current need for a special endorsement in the state of Washington to utilize manipulation, the need to differentially diagnose in Indiana, a requirement for medical referral in North Carolina, prohibition of using the term ‘manipulation’ in California and Florida, and conflicts between state practice acts for physical therapists and chiropractors in many states. Though not as frenetic as the heated legislative battles of the 1990s, the debate continues and is frequently based upon the presumption that physical therapists need to defend their use of manipulation, which is primarily represented in the USA as a chiropractic invention and characteristic of chiropractic practice
