39. IS CHIROPRACTIC MANIPULATION A SAFE PROCEDURE The most logical source for assessing the risk of any profession can be found by examining the malpractice insurance premiums for that profession
“ Hello, My name is Dr. Don Capoferri. I own and operate Precision Pain Relief Center in Norcross, Georgia. and I am very excited to have this opportunity to address you and your staff today. It wasn’t long ago that the thought of a chiropractor and medical doctor working together was nothing more than a punch line for a joke. Today it is a reality and the real benefit is better patient care. Since becoming a chiropractor in 1981 I have always believed that both of our professions offer important components in the complete health care of our patients. We as chiropractors need to recognize when a particular case is beyond what we can offer and you, as a medical doctor, need to know when chiropractic is a more beneficial approach to a certain condition than medication. I hope to accomplish that goal here today.” “ Believe it or not, our professions have more in common than you may realize. Hippocrates, the father of medicine, actually wrote a book called “On Setting Joints by Leverage” in which he described manipulative procedures that are still used today.” START OFF HUMBLE!
