Lastly, it must be noted that CARE PATH TWO, CARE PATH FOUR and CARE PATH SIX do not specifically assert that spinal manipulation is part of same.  The aforementioned has caused confusion amongst many medical providers since CARE PATH ONE, CARE PATH THREE and CARE PATH FIVE specifically asserts the acceptance of spinal manipulation.

The confusion was rectified by DOBI in the comments for the OCTOBER 13 of 2000 regulation adoptions.  Specifically, the aforementioned read that it was DOBI’s intent “that [spinal] manipulation can be considered as part of conservative treatment in all the CARE PATHS provided that the test results do not indicate that [spinal] manipulation would be harmful.”
