    How many states do or do not require DCs to have insurance? It’s shocking that it’s not required across the board, but they are in denial that there is ANY danger from cervical manipulation.

    I don’t know how many states have a law requiring DC’s to carry insurance, but rest assured that nearly all of them do, in fact, you can’t get on the health insurance panels without having it!As far as the risk of cervical manipulation, it is EXTREMELY rare, almost to a fault. Look up some of the other posts and you’ll see!Oh, and the PT’s have not “given up” on manipulation, they’ve never had it as part of their professional scope! They are actually trying to obtain the therapy by law!!
