It is amazing how little we are satisfied with in chiropractic. I once showed a video to a group of straight chiropractic students.

You can never come to understand a WALV by dissecting it, reducing it to its component parts. It can only be understood by assembling it into an overall concept, an overarching plan. You do not understand a painting by getting up close and looking at the parts, you understand it by standing back and taking … Read more
