I think this is a simple disconnect that has arisen as a consequence of us living in different countries. Chiropractors clearly have rather a different reputation here in the UK and we have very different regulation of healthcare professionals.
Thanks for the citation of the article which I will look up when I get a chance. I am not saying that it can't help some people, all I am saying is that unlike so many other treatment modalities, there is virtually no mention of chirpopractic treatment in connection with the treatment of CRPS. My view is that this is surprising when you consider how many chiropractors say they can treat it. No more than that.

Hi Gymjunkie,
I wonder why it is then, that many of the RSD websites that we all look to list chiropractors as doctors who do indeed treat this disorder. I can't imagine that these sites which we look to for quidance and direction would list these doctors unless there was something in the literature that supports their having success in treating this disorder as well as the knowledge behind it. I have visited some chiropractic web sites where they posted page after page of literature on RSD so obviously there is knowledge there. When I first started posting here there was a woman who had been treated for RSD by a chiropractor and felt she improved. As you say, it may be a difference in the area that we live. Just something to think about...Jeannie
