Episode description

While Australian regulators have banned chiropractors from working on babies, the practice is growing in Canada. And with some training to practice spine manipulation on babies limited to 12 hours over the course of a weekend, some in the Canadian medical community are concerned. We look at the justification for the practice, what evidence there is to support it, and what Canadian regulators have to say. Dave is joined by National Post health writer Sharon Kirkey.
