The Safety and Efficacy of Chiropractic DVD & CD

Dr. Farabaugh developed this lecture/video in response to several chiropractic critics who are spreading inappropriate fear over the issue of safety. These critics are grossly misrepresenting our profession to audiences ranging from medical and physical therapy schools, to the Internet, and to the public at large. Our profession has a duty to disseminate accurate information to provide truth and balance to those same audiences.

The video prepared by Dr. Farabaugh provides an affordable product that all DCs can use to educate themselves and the public on the issues of safety, efficacy and some of the common myths about our profession. This video can be used as a streaming educational tool in your reception rooms for patient education.

This product contains two discs, a DVD of the one hour lecture, and a CD containing the PowerPoint presentation and Script explaining each page, as well as a message from Dr. Farabaugh suggesting various uses of this information.

We encourage all DCs to purchase this product and place the video on their own websites and blogs in an effort to have accurate information readily available on the Internet.
