Getzik and his members join a number of other fringe groups operating within the profession that became disillusioned with chiropractic and want to change the scope of practice state by state so they can prescribe drugs. These groups and struggling individuals believe this will bring them money and credibility while also claiming they can help more people. Some go as far to say they will be able to take people off drugs or will prescribe drugs better than MD's or DO's.
Chiropractors can currently prescribe or administer drugs of some type in several states and countries and efforts continue to expand to more.
