Abstract/Notes

Abstract: No child seems to have died or suffered a serious adverse event at the hands of a chiropractor in Australia and very, very few have reported discomfort beyond a little crying. Yet the Chiropractic Board of Australia maintains a dated interim policy that ‘advises chiropractors to not use spinal manipulation to treat children under two years of age, pending the recommendations arising from the independent expert review’, in spite of also stating it expects ‘chiropractors ensure their clinical practice is consistent with current evidence and/or best-practice approaches.’ This significant review by Safer Care Victoria was completed 2½ years ago and found no evidence of harm. There are no possible grounds for the Board to not immediately rescind its ‘interim' guidance and replace it with a current statement of Best Practice. To not do so is to reject the overarching responsibility for the CBA to ‘advocate for kids’ and to continue to deny Australian children their basic human right of access to chiropractic care.
