Chiropractic Physician
The challenge with chiropractic is care management variability. Why can some DCs treat in less than 12 visits, while others suggest long-term treatment plans and dozens of visits from the first visit? To the average person, it makes little sense.
If you are a patient and your care was denied, we will be happy to offer a second opinion about your claim. If you feel you are the victim of a bad or biased independent medical/chiropractic consultant, Dr. Farabaugh will be happy to review your case. If you are a payor unsure if the care provided was medically necessary or within industry standards, I will be glad to provide you a true independent examination and expert professional advice.
Dr. Farabaugh’s 42+ years of experience in clinical practice, clinical practice guideline development, and service as a medical director makes him uniquely qualified to help non-chiropractors in Understanding the Practice of Chiropractic and chiropractors in Simplifying the Practice of Chiropractic!
Dr. Farabaugh lives by the principle “Evidence is our most powerful tool.” This philosophy echoes David Sackett, MD, the pioneer of evidence-based medicine, who advocated for a balanced approach to clinical practice. As Sackett noted, while blind devotion to research can paralyze clinical decision-making, failing to embrace current evidence risks obsolescence and compromises patient care. Through his clinical practice, lectures, malpractice work, and private consulting, Dr. Farabaugh emphasizes education—helping practitioners bridge the gap between evidence and effective chiropractic care.
