following is a combination of findings from the Lamm and Pfannenschmidt
study as well as exhaustive inquiries by SOTO-USA to support SOT
chiropractors practicing Cranial Manipulation, Craniopathy and TMJ
methods of treatment. Various state boards have offered qualified
responses, which means they refer to their state statutes and do not
wish at this time to make an explicit statement. Those in
progress and
offering only qualified responses are being followed up by SOTO-USA at
the present time. Usually these qualified responses is the way
the
state can allow Craniopathy and TMJ care within its scope of practice. If you are practicing, Craniopathy or TMJ care, in a state it would behoove you to check out the information below. SOTO-USA is attempting
to make sure that all states recognize
craniopathy or cranial manipulation and TMJ therapies as within the
scope of practice of all United States chiropractors.. Some
states required that craniopathy and TMJ treatments be part of a spinal
component of treatment. SOTO-USA has written a position paper
that the
states can use to justify craniopathy or cranial therapy and TMJ
treatment and its relationship to chiropractic spinal related treatment.
