Change in Pelvic Incidence Associated With Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction: A Case Report

Although registered under Hong Kong's legislative framework, chiropractors are not able to certify sick leave, restricting the effectiveness of their services for patients with musculoskeletal issues requiring time away from work. This paper explores the evolution of chiropractic regulation in Hong Kong, the growth of the profession, and the tardy recognition of chiropractors' power to issue sick leave certificates. The chiropractic profession and its patients have long lobbied for this authority, but the government has been slow to respond. This document presents a comprehensive analysis of the benefits and restrictions of allowing chiropractors prescriptive authority for sick leave and requests that this change in policy be considered. Developing responsible criteria for chiropractors to prescribe sick leave within their scope of practice could legitimize chiropractic's position in the population's health and interdisciplinary pain care while lowering the burden on injured workers.
