Very limited literature on chiropractic profession’s understanding of significance of touch

Laying on of hands a huge placebo factor: https://t.co/chZ0d7vFWu and @EdzardErnst flagged up touch + placebo effect 20+ yrs ago: https://t.co/gYWyKJkUey #SinghBCA

DAMNING “Scotland College of Chiropractic’s curriculum…is now dual fluency. Graduates need to document and defend care in regulator-preferred terminology while still understanding, researching, and somehow communicating subluxation-based models” https://t.co/P5WnkbxOXo #SinghBCA

Scotland College of Chiropractic: "rigorous quality assurance" "clinical excellence" "critical thinking" https://t.co/cq8TzgRPz5 "evidence-informed curriculum" Abject quackery. Chiropractic has no scientific basis. #SinghBCA #uselessregulation

[Blue Wode @Blue_Wode]

'DUAL FLUENCY' nonsense. Chiropractors can't have it both ways. Their theories cannot be both dogmatically held vitalistic constructs and be scientific at the same time. #SinghBCA #quackademia #uselessregulation

Int'l movement: commitment to vertebral subluxation-based chiropractic extends well beyond N. America. Says ‘protecting a profession’s identity and demanding scientific accountability aren’t competing obligations…must be capable of doing both’ https://t.co/3QiSQyPGbQ #SinghBCA

.@edinburghpaper You really need to do your homework about the charity, the Scotland College of Chiropractic. See here https://t.co/zOH9gNO4oS The NHS will not fund chiropractic because clinical evidence from systemic reviews does not support it. #SinghBCA #quackademia

[Blue Wode @Blue_Wode]

FURTHER DECEPTION: Scotland College of Chiropractic “…subluxation-aware practice can be integrated compliantly…Prepare graduates to speak two dialects: the regulator’s, and the profession’s” https://t.co/P5WnkbxOXo #SinghBCA cc @EdzardErnst @Majikthyse @David_Colquhoun

NB. Two years ago, 93% of students at this 'university' were taking the Chiropractic Masters degree. It has now been ranked 8th the UK for Health Professions in the Guardian University Guide 2027. #SinghBCA #BewareTheSpinalTrap
