There is only one thing wrong with associating and working with those in chiropractic who have a different objective. It clouds the focus and diminishes the importance of your objective. To some that is a very important thing. v25n1

A professional education must have more applicable and practical teaching than superfluous. Is chiropractic education professional on that basis? Much of it is superfluous. Conversely, much of medicine is professional. When we argue that our students learn more neurology, more anatomy than a medical doctor, the question is are we getting unnecessary education. Apparently the … Read more

A subluxation occurs when an external invasive force overcomes the resisting forces of the body. The innate intelligence of the body is responsible … Read more
Are Subluxations Bad?
Of course subluxations are always bad! However, from time to time someone comes up with the idea that perhaps the innate intelligence of the body creates a subluxation as an adaptative process. It seems that the issue comes up enough that we may have to start defining a vertebral subluxation a little differently. We may … Read more
