The only difference between the Therapeutic Chiropractor (ThC) and the Traditional Chiropractor (TC) is the means and the tools by which each desires to accomplish their identical objective-“getting sick people well”. They may have a slightly different idea of what “getting well” means and while the ThC may want to use any and every tool he can and the TC wants to confine his efforts to only the correction of vertebral subluxation to accomplish that objective, the difference other than that is nonexistent. That’s why Jim Healey, D.C. once referred to TC as “conservative mixing”.
The chiropractic objective is to LACVS for a full expression of the innate FORCES of the innate intelligence of the body. PERIOD. –
– Nothing less, nothing more!
– Anything else is NOT the objective of chiropractic. If a chiropractor LACVS “to get sick people well” that chiropractor is practicing an objective different than the chiropractic objective. It is as simple as that!
