Spinal manipulation in babies: Mark Butler demands ‘please explain’ from chiropractic board
The health minister wanted an 'urgent explanation' on why the practice had resumed despite the lack of evidence.
The Minister for Health and Aged Care is demanding the Chiropractic Board of Australia explain its decision to lift the ban on chiropractors performing spinal manipulation on infants.
The ban was introduced five years ago following a Facebook video showing a Melbourne chiropractor holding a two-week-old baby upside down during one of his treatment sessions.
