Chiropractic diagnostic and therapeutic goals should be achieved as safely, quickly and economically as possible to promote patient health and independence. Optimal patient care can best be achieved when chiropractic is vertically integrated within the health care system. Interdisciplinary collaboration is essential to this purpose. The diagnostic and therapeutic guidelines adopted by the profession should be evidence based. In health care, the absence or ambiguity of scientific evidence requires using sound clinical judgement in place of hard data.
Chiropractors offer accessible and appropriate care to all population groups.
Chiropractic recognizes the multifaceted aspects of health, disease, etiology and related patient care.
