The charge was that medical establishments sought to destroy Chiropractic. In a fourteen year battle with appeals, Wilk finally won the case in 1987. This was a victory for Chiropractors and their patients. The judge ruled there was indeed a conspiracy to Contain and Eliminate Chiropractic by the AMA.
