The Supreme Court Case That Transformed Chiropractic

They kind of highlight that just around that same time, mid to late 1970s, chiropractic saw a pretty dramatic change. And that change has continued on to today. And that's happened within the profession and within where the profession sits in the global landscape of health care. Some of this, of course, ties in to the flagship US Supreme Court decision to uphold a lower court decision, which basically was when the American Medical association was trying to get rid of chiropractic as they've done to other professions. And they did that unsuccessfully with chiropractic as they have done with other professions and basically brought them in and under for that control, separate conversation for a separate day. But since that time in the late 70s, there's been big changes within chiropractic. And one of those big changes was the development of the first clinical practice guidelines to recommend spinal manipulation for low back pain. And this was authored by the US Agency for Healthcare Policy and Research all the way back in 1994.
