i am not sure what kind of scans your chiropractor wants you to get but there is really nothing in any "malpractice law" that requires imaging studies. you can ask him to see a copy of this law in writing but i don't think there is one. i don't really no your case but scans may offer a clinician valuable information. at a cost of course. some mris can cost a thousand dollars or more so you do have to be financially responsible. consider getting a second opinion from an orthopedic specialist -- one that is covered by your insurance -- to see if a scan is necessary.
is a chiropractor required by malpractice law to keep doing scans? . i have gone to the chiropractor once a week it is all that i can afford they want me to go three times a week and they do not take insurance. they insist that i need to have scans done again because of malpractice insurance laws. i was told that if i did not get the scans done i would not be able to get adjusted there anymore. is this in fact a chiropractic malpractice law or is it just for the money? . thank you
