The original “Chiropractic Act/approach” (1929)to chiropractic was clearly to regulate the practice of chiropractic so that it defined what we do as chiropractors and restrict us from doing something that would encroach upon another licensed practice (medicine). It failed to do that for it allowed for the incorporation of procedures that were parts of the practice of drugless physicians whose objective was to get sick people well (without drugs or surgery).
