Today is the last day for public comment on the elimination of chiropractic care for patients over the age of 21 starting in January, 2026. If you receive or any of your family receive state subsidized health insurance (Blue Plus, Medical Assistance, South Country, etc) your coverage for chiropractic care will be eliminated in January. Even if you have never seen a chiropractor, you need to contact our legislators and DHS to encourage them to keep chiropractic coverage for individuals over 21. Many in our area benefit from chiropractic care for neuromusculoskeletal conditions, and eliminating coverage will increase visits to urgent care and emergency rooms, thus increasing overall costs and strain to our resources exponentially. Many small businesses and farmers rely on these programs for care. Eliminating chiropractic coverage is bad policy and poor fiscal responsibility. Send an email to dhs.spa.comments@state.mn.us to make your voice heard.

“It’s not often that the New York Times acknowledges that it may have been complicit in decades of medical misdirection. But Paul Tough’s April 13, 2025, feature in the Times Magazine—’Have We Been Thinking About A.D.H.D. All Wrong?’—marks a cultural and scientific inflection point. What Tough describes is nothing less than a collapse of the biomedical model of A.D.H.D. as we’ve known it—a model that has dominated research, practice, and parenting since the 1990s. Diagnoses have exploded. Medications like Ritalin and Adderall are handed out like candy. Yet, after 30 years of follow-up research, even the scientists who once built the case for pharmaceutical treatment now admit that the long-term benefits are fleeting, the biological evidence is weak, and the entire model of the disorder may be fundamentally flawed." – Matt McCoy, DC

As society begins to embrace a more individualized, empowering approach to health, chiropractic stands ready to lead with its foundational truth: the body is intelligent, and healing comes from within.
