1. I am a pediatric nurse practitioner with 41 years in the trenches.

I have done sports physicals my entire career. It is not just a rubber stamp exam, even though in the middle of the summer onslaught of these exams it can feel like it.

I do not know much about the education of chiropractors, other than the focus is on the musculoskeletal system. Is there any expertise in auscultation of the hear and lungs, or in the management of either exercise-induced bronchospasm or asthma? Can they prescribe rescue and controller inhalers? Can they explain the Rule of Twos that helps a patient and family decide is asthma is being properly managed?

Can they diagnose and treat impetigo, ringworm or MRSA?

Do they administer mental health screening questionnaires to assess for anxiety, depression and suicide risk?

2. my e-pals chiro told him to see dr. he had had a minor heart attack, he had cholesterol issues.

mine could tell i was taking less calcium. she fixed my scoliosis. and my sciatica. the ER did nothing for the sciatica. i can see this for spine checks, but you need both i think.
