Charges included conspiracy, wire fraud, money laundering and healthcare fraud. The case involves an experimental and aggressive form of chiropractic manipulation, law enforcement officials said. Among the charges: False diagnoses and claims, representing that procedures were performed by osteopathic and medical doctors when in reality they were performed by osteopathic doctors and chiropractors, and waiving patients' required co-payments and deductibles.
