Nuciforo Hammond Help Kill Legalizing of Chiropraxis
Berkshire County senators Andrea F. Nuciforo and George D. Hammond voted with the majority to kill the long running effort to legalize chiropraxis in Massachusetts. The bill would have created a five member chiropractor dominated board to set standards akin to other states. Hammond spoke against the measure recounting personal medical costs and concerns about chiropractors expanding into diagnosis, while Ward urged opposition citing a partner who benefited from chiropractic care.
