Either we speak the language of science and survive on the merits of our service, or we fade, and justly so. Either we survive as a profession of excellence or we return to our past of flim-flam philosophy, polarity, and ethers. Chiropractic is a profession of capable primary health care providers. It is not a treatment methodology defined by its dead founders. Today's chiropractic doctors primarily use manual and natural approaches to the treatment and prevention of ailments.
Chiropractic philosophy guides our scientific pursuit of truth.
Our science says that structure designates function and function modifies structure. Ethics then dictate we first do no harm and effect that cycle with efficacious treatment. As doctors we should not look down on non-adjustive natural therapies that are proven effective. Nor must we be so tied to the past that we fail to innovate in the realm of natural healing. Wilk and Barge, our profession has risen to new responsibilities thanks to the dedication of your generation.
