No, a chiropractor can’t cure COVID-19 (or diabetes, for that matter). State officials say they have received dozens of complaints about chiropractors falsely claiming to be able to treat COVID-19 “The California Board of Chiropractic Examiners, the state’s regulatory agency, told me that “approximately 40 complaints about COVID-19-related advertisements” have been received by officials since the pandemic began.” SEPTEMBER 3, 2020 USA TODAY
'We’re not your slaves': Alternative health providers bristle at warning letters about their coronavirus treatments “Its members are angry at government warning letters that many perceive as an infringement on their right to free speech, free trade and people's control over their health care – and some are ready to fight back.”

Chiropractic regulation exists in many countries to protect the public.
Incorporated in Canada as an international, nonprofit organization, the ICRS is established to support those jurisdictions that have legislative authority to regulate chiropractors, and to assist those who wish to work toward adding the appropriate regulatory structure to protect the public. Anyone interested in the goals of the ICRS is welcome to attend the annual Forum.
CRS is pleased to showcase the Association of Chiropractic, Malaysia (ACM). An Associate Member of ICRS, the ACM has been working tirelessly to bring about legislation and recognition to best protect the public. ACM President, Dr. Wong (Yi Kai) has kindly provided a brief update as to how they have addressed the COVID-19 pandemic effectively. Please email to president@chiroacm.org In Malaysia, the government established and initiated the Movement Control Order (MCO) on March 18, 2020, to help curb the spread of COVID-19. During the MCO period, the Association of Chiropractic Malaysia (ACM) strongly recommended that all chiropractic centers in Malaysia cease operation in order to minimize inter- and intra- contamination. This was adhering to the known data at that point (per New York Times) that chiropractors’ exposure risk to infection and physical proximity to clientele is 53% and 96% respectively. With the improvement of the situation in Malaysia, the government moved to the next phase, named the Conditional MCO (CMCO). At this stage, the government allowed some of the sectors to re-open and these sectors were approved to operate including chiropractic practices on May 4, 2020, to restart, recover, and revitalize the Malaysian economy. Strict and constantly updated standard operating procedures (SOPs) are provided and mandated by the government and local authorities to assist with business reactivation and operation. On June 7th, the government announced it was ready to move on to the next stage identified as the Recovery MCO (RMCO) starting June 9 – August 31. In this phase, more sectors are allowed to operate. As of Aug 21, 2020, the total positive COVID-19 cases are 9249, total active cases are 179, total recovered cases are 8945 (recovery rate is 96.71%), and total deaths are 125 (mortality rate is 1.35%). |
