Authors response to ‘Tendential and unscientific opinion’ letter-to-the-editor by Dr. Marc Wuttke MD, PhD

Abstract

The authors of this letter are aware of a recent ‘Letter to the Editor’ in response to our recently published editorial: Olson KA, Clewley D, Milne, N et al. (2024): Spinal manipulation and mobilization for pediatric conditions: time to stop the madness. J Man Manip Ther. 32(3):207-210. We are aware that this letter was published by the Journal of Manual & Manipulative Therapy and makes several of the same points as the Letter to Editor by Saedt [Citation1] that we responded to, point-by-point, with a response published in the same journal [Citation2]. We refer to our previous response letter that provides a rationale for why the inclusion of articles by Sacher et al. [Citation3–5], published after the completion of our scoping review, would have had no significant impact on our findings [Citation2].
