Reed Chiropractic is NCQA Certified NCQA is the National
Committee of Quality Assurance; status was obtained to function as a PCP
(primary care provider) and the first portal of entry for all patients where
specially trained chiropractic physicians evaluated the health care status of
patients and used alternative medicine to treat when applicable. Referral to
medical doctors occurred when the patients' needs were better addressed by
allopathic medicine. In a peer-reviewed journal, the outcome of a two-year study
was published: "These outcomes merit further research into the role a
chiropractic physician could provide to improve health care delivery."
