Synopsis
Not since Ralph Lee Smith's 1969 landmark work, At Your Own Risk, has a full-length book for the consumer been offered on the subject of chiropractic. Chiropractic: The Victim's Perspective is an up-to-date, well-researched, and documented analysis of the claims and benefits of chiropractic. With significant input from scientifically oriented chiropractors, Magner measures the profession by both scientific and consumer-protection standards.
