1. Chiropractor temporarily banned from treating children after video goes viral.
The chiropractor who manipulated the spine of a four-day-old baby in a video that went viral has been temporarily banned from treating children.
Dr Ian Rossborough from Parkdale in Melbourne may face tougher penalties reports The Herald Sun with the Chiropractic Board of Australia expected to hold a hearing into his conduct.
Dr Rossborough performed a chiropractic procedure on a newborn in a video that then went viral where he performed a manoeuvre on the spine of a four-day-old baby, after her parents allegedly said she had colic and reflux.
It prompted Health Minister Jill Hennessy to call for more regulations for chiropractors performing “unproven and potentially unsafe” procedures on infants.
The Herald Sun reports that Dr Rossborough’s medical registration says he is prevented from assessing, performing, formulating a management plan or providing any manual therapy including manipulation of the spine to anyone under 18.

There is no reason for a chiro to ever be treating babies - so why is the ban only for one chiro, and why it it temporary?
Wish chiros would stop calling themselves doctors.
