ICPA Members Define the Practice of Pediatric Chiropractic
The ICPA’s groundbreaking new study, The Safety and Effectiveness of Pediatric Chiropractic: A Survey of Chiropractors and Parents in a Practice-Based Research Network, was published this month in the prestigious biomedical journal, Explore: The Journal of Science and Healing. The objective of the study was to describe the practice of pediatric chiropractic, including its safety and effectiveness.
