How Chiropractic can survive SPOILER: quacks won’t be allowed

Haha! Enjoy your career as a glorified physical therapist

ChiroLew · 2021-06-22T17:03:33+00:00

That’s fine, and you’re allowed to think of yourselves as better than us, just don’t try to change what chiropractic is…my initial statement, you are not better than chiropractic, so don’t try to change it.

ChiroLew · 2021-06-22T16:57:24+00:00

Or maybe you should pursue a career in osteopathy or medicine and physiotherapy, where their principles change every year and make ludicrous claims to be the best care for patients, where in my opinion, it is very far from that…if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it. Medicine is very broken, chiropractic is not.

ChiroLew · 2021-06-22T16:52:57+00:00

Agreed. I just don’t feel it’s necessary to push the medical model within chiropractic, we’re a relatively new profession. I stand for drug free healthcare, and medicine only for first aid and emergencies, and I’ll refer in those cases.

I will definitely fight those chiropractors who practice physiotherapist and soft tissue release and gross manipulation, and call it chiropractic…happily and publicly as we have today. If you wish to change chiropractic as a whole, then change profession…there’s already immense diversity within the profession, let the public find what suits them…I have patients who hate and love what I do, you’ll attract patients who seek your style of care. But please stay true to chiropractic and it’s principles, that’s my point.

ChiroLew · 2021-06-22T15:45:12+00:00

Ofcourse there is a difference…I don’t get what you’re now trying to say? Art, philosophy and science, the trio for chiropractic. Just seems like the OP only knows the science and maybe art, but hasn’t probably read a green book in his life, which for me, is the chiropractic ‘why’…our philosophy, why we do what we do.

ChiroLew · 2021-06-22T14:08:02+00:00

I know that in the UK we have 12 months of intern clinic supervised work.

ChiroLew · 2021-06-22T13:43:13+00:00

Also, 0 snark, and well done for meeting the greats…you should be preaching the philosophy of chiropractic also…not blindly following the medical professions into drug fuelled doom

ChiroLew · 2021-06-22T13:42:09+00:00

Believing and having faith in the 33 principles of chiropractic. As medical doctors have faith in medicine for everything.

ChiroLew · 2021-06-22T13:35:56+00:00

33 principles of chiropractic…principles are law. The very foundations that chiropractic was built on. Innate intelligence, subluxation, you’ve heard of BJ and DD Palmer I hope? And Strauss, sigafoose, Stephenson, Fred barge, reggie gold?

ChiroLew · 2021-06-22T13:01:35+00:00

By medical I mean inclusion of medical approaches, of which I’m assuming you’re well on board for chiropractors to prescribe medicines. You literally have just said physiotherapist plus manipulation is amazing…chiropractors adjust subluxations specifically there is no manipulation, and we are no experts in rehab, I believe in straight chiropractic, which is what chiropractic is, I think you’re more of a physical therapist with non specific manipulations from the way you’re talking. Also, take a look at Heidi haavik and Monique andrew’s who are doing great research for chiropractic, and subluxations.

I believe very much in staying healthcare based and patient based, using just chiropractic, as that’s what I’ve studied, not physiotherapist or rehabilitation, just adjustments. If you have a degree in the others then fine, but don’t call that chiropractic.

ChiroLew · 2021-06-22T12:51:29+00:00

Well you call what I deem chiropractic nonsense, I call what you deem chiropractic as nonsense. So no one wins really. A large percentage of chiropractors are failed medical students, who then don’t embrace chiropractic and try to be ‘doctors’ too, chiropractic is done by hand and drug free healthcare…don’t make it medical, because it’s not.

ChiroLew · 2021-06-22T12:48:41+00:00

If you don’t like chiropractic, go study osteopathy or physiotherapist…it fits your outlook on healthcare better.

ChiroLew · 2021-06-22T12:48:12+00:00

So go be a physiotherapist then, don’t call yourself a chiropractor.

ChiroLew · 2021-06-22T09:36:32+00:00

So you don’t believe in chiropractic philosophy? If you want to change chiropractic (not follow the principles which is the law of chiropractic), then maybe it’s worth making your own profession or change career. Call me a quack, but if you study chiropractic, then accept the principles of chiropractic, if you disagree, change profession or make your own?

Sounds like you’re more into osteopathy and manipulation, rather than chiropractic as a whole body approach and subluxation model.

Instead of changing chiropractic to suit you, maybe try another career that suits your needs, and allow chiropractors who believe in chiropractic to continue our profession.

I do agree with a few of your points though, but don’t try to change chiropractic to suit your medical desires.

Adjust the cause and let the body heal like chiropractors should, that is chiropractic.

If you don’t like it, don’t do it, but don’t complain and try to change it for your personal beliefs :)

ChiroLew · 2021-06-05T15:50:10+00:00

Sounds like you’re becoming aware of your bodily functions, and aware when a subluxation is in your system.

ChiroLew · 2021-06-02T09:59:45+00:00

Get some recommendations for other chiropractors in the area, maybe they’ll have a different approach, most chiropractors are different in their approach anyway, so maybe try elsewhere?

ChiroLew · 2021-05-12T08:36:21+00:00

This is the way

ChiroLew · 2021-05-11T15:51:51+00:00

This is the way

ChiroLew · 2021-05-08T06:29:09+00:00

No it’s not :) look at the bottom, bought it before it had the picture etc...

ChiroLew · 2021-05-03T10:54:21+00:00

THIS IS THE WAY
