Sandbox notes

• Spinal manipulation for asthma: a systematic review of randomised clinical trials.

• Chiropractic spinal manipulation for infant colic: a systematic review of randomised clinical trials.

• Throughout its history it has been controversial.

• The 2008 book Trick or Treatment states, in 1913 B.J. Palmer ran over his father,

• According to who? The 2008 book Trick or Treatment states... is sourced but alleged is not. It was original research to put words in the cited source's mouth.

• Chiropractic historian Joseph C. Keating, Jr. has described the attempted patricide of D.D. Palmer as a myth

• Many chiropractors have sought to address their minor status within the U.S. medical community by attending practice-building seminars to assist chiropractors to persuade their patients of the efficacy of their treatments, increase their revenue, and boost their morale as unorthodox medical practitioners.

• According to the 2008 book Trick or Treatment,

• Chiropractic#Safety. The 2008 book Trick or Treatment states "chiropractors may X-ray the same patient several times a year, even though there is no clear evidence that X-rays will help the therapist treat the patient. X-rays can reveal neither the subluxations nor the innate intelligence associated with chiropractic philosophy, because they do not exist. There is no conceivable reason at all why X-raying the spine should help a straight chiropractor treat an ear infection, asthma or period pains. most worrying of all, chiropractors generally require a full spine X-ray, which delivers a significant higher radiation dose than most other X-ray procedures".

• Quackery is more prevalent in chiropractic than in other health care professions which is a violation of the social contract between patients and physicians.

• Chiropractic has been controversial, though to a lesser extent than in past years, and continues to be more controversial than indigenous medicine. Many people believe chiropractic had little more than a placebo effect but there has always been satisfied patients.

• cautionary article about chiropractic therapies

• Historical criticism and controversy elements

• The editor was warned about the probation but has decided to delete properly sourced text here and here after returning from a wikibreak. The editor has a possible WP:COI.

• Tricky vandalism not supported by reference.
