Concussions

[Guest guest]

I do not see where the Chiropractic profession has had any

input or joined in concurring with anything below. It would be nice if there

was ability for us to become involved on some level ie to ‘concur’

and formulate a set of protocols for head protection, neck strengthening ,

treatment(s) etc. and to ADVERTISE it. s. fuchs dc
