The Texas Board of
Chiropractic Examiners has
published a rules proposal for
Rule 77.5, Misleading
Claims.
Included in
this proposal are statements
such as: "A person
advertising chiropractic
services shall not use ....
claims intended or reasonably
likely to create a false
expectation of the favorable
results from chiropractic
treatment .... claims intended
or reasonably
likely to
create a false expectation of
the cost of treatment or the
amount of treatment to be
provided."
Also to be
prohibited would be "claims
that state or imply
chiropractic services provide
a cure for any
condition," and "claims
that chiropractic services
cure or lessen the effects of
ailments, injuries or other
disorders of
the human body
which are outside the scope of
chiropractic...."
TBCE
proposes that "the standard to
be used in
determining
whether a violation of this
rule has taken place is the
generally accepted standards
of care within the
chiropractic profession
in
Texas."
