Old Dad Chiro: His Thoughts, Words and Deeds by Myron D. Brown, D.C., F.C.S.C. (Hon.), A.C.P That D.D. Palmer was individualistic and enigmatic is undeniable, nevertheless this work intends to provide a look at the whole, to reveal the character and spirit of the founder, thus leading to reasonable assumptions about the meaning of this fascinating life. Practice Objective and Its Impact on the Future of the Chiropractic Profession by Judith Nutz Campanale, D.C., F.C.S.C. The impact of practice objective on the future of the chiropractic profession is also thoroughly discussed. There are currently at least two separate professions within the chiropractic profession, each of which is fairly well defined and supported. This does not bode well for the profession as a whole as it confuses the public/consumer, creates significant internal strife, and inhibits the profession from gaining its own unique market share The Straight - Mixer Quandary: Will Chiropractic Survive? Can It Thrive? by James J. Peck, D.C. As a result of the absence of a homogeneous definition and objective within the chiropractic profession, chiropractic has struggled and even suffered. While the current situation does not bode well for the profession, it is time to investigate satisfactory solutions. Chiropractic has too much to offer humanity to continue on its current path. Rationales For Variations In Frequency Of Patient Care Among Subluxation Centered Chiropractic Practitioners by Felicia Stewart, D.C., A.C.P Three philosophical constructs may serve as a basis for decisions concerning how often a practice member is scheduled for an office visit: the definition of vertebral subluxation, adaptability, and the perceived impact of universal forces on the body. Two aspects of chiropractic practice that derive most or all of their foundation from these three constructs include the care plan and patient education. The intent of this paper is to foster introspection and discussion within and among chiropractors concerning their own basis for recommending a frequency of care and to identify ways in which analytical procedures and patient education can better reflect chiropractic philosophy.
