Dear kevin reese
Kevin Brown
Thank you for your kind replies.
Now I can understand chiropractic is dangerous in some case.
But it seems to be fact that chiro is familiar in the U.S.
I think this comes from longer history of chiro than that of PT or orthopaedist.
There is a same situation in Japan.Judo-bone-setters have a long history
from middle age.
I know their technique is not scientific, but they are familiar(popular) in
Japan.
And they can make much money and have a building and yacht.
PT need a good plan of advertisement ,I think.
Best regards,

P.S.
To all of the list
Why don't you come to WCPT Congress at Yokohama Japan from 23 May to 28 May.
One of my friend,Japanese PT who lives in the U.S. said Bobath approach was
more advanced
in Japan than in the U.S.
Japan is one of the safest countries and the educational level of the
Japanese is rather high.
Although orthopaedic manipulative physical therapy is considerably behind
that of western countries,it may be a good chance for you to enlighten
Japanese,as Japanese orthopaedic patients
don't know orthopaedic manipulative physical therapy.If they know it they
will rush into PT.
