"However, what happens when a chiropractor is the one determining whether you need things that he or she isn’t licensed to deliver? Taken to the extreme, this is the same as a chiropractor being the one that decides that you need brain surgery and then hiring a brain surgeon to come into his or her office and perform the procedure. We would all hopefully conclude that a chiropractor has no place in deciding whether a procedure that could kill you happened or not. The training needed to weigh the risks and benefits of that procedure isn’t there."

“One of the biggest game-changers here is the clear statements in the complaint that it is beyond the scope of a chiropractor to recommend stem cell treatment.”

The only problem I have with this is that he is citing the complaint, not what the judge has ruled. Attorneys can “complain” about anything. I’m still reading though, so maybe there’s more facts to it.

edit.... Reading the first page it looks like this is a florida state attorney complaint to the florida board of chiropractic. Hopefully it has traction.
