About this Item

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Chiropractic is a philosophy, a science and an art. Those three components are taken for granted in present debates on policy within the profession and in chiropractic colleges. As new information is made available to chiropractors, it is clear that the art portion of chiropractic has evolved over past decades in terms of analysis and adjusting procedures. It is also clear that the understanding of the philosophy has evolved from being therapeutic (getting sick people well) toward non-therapeutic (location, analysis and correction of vertebral subluxation regardless of the outcome), even though it is embraced by only a small segment within the profession. A third component of chiropractic, science, is less well defined. This book defines and discusses this important third aspect of chiropractic and its impact on the profession as a whole.

Synopsis

Chiropractic is a philosophy, a science and an art. Those three components are taken for granted in present debates on policy within the profession and in chiropractic colleges. As new information is made available to chiropractors, it is clear that the art portion of chiropractic has evolved over past decades in terms of analysis and adjusting procedures. It is also clear that the understanding of the philosophy has evolved from being therapeutic (getting sick people well) toward non-therapeutic (location, analysis and correction of vertebral subluxation regardless of the outcome), even though it is embraced by only a small segment within the profession. A third component of chiropractic, science, is less well defined. This book defines and discusses this important third aspect of chiropractic and its impact on the profession as a whole

Review

"The 33 Principles are the basic science of chiropractic from which our objective and its practice are derived and applied. It is the fundamental work of our profession forming the basis for our philosophy, art, and science. It is interconnected to all three. Dr. Claude Lessard has written the definitive text on the subject. The 33 Principles are the Declaration of Independence of Chiropractic which in effect causes the separation of chiropractic from the practice of medicine and every other outside-in approach. Until these principles are understood and applied, the profession will never assume its rightful place. It is a welcomed addition to the body of chiropractic literature and should be part of every chiropractor’s library." --Joseph B. Strauss, D.C., F.C.S.C.
