In fact, there is evidence that the main tenets of chiropractic are not true. This is how science works. On one side are Dr. Sid and his fellow 'straight' chiropractors, who see themselves as the pure conscience of chiropractic tradition. But the article doesn't dwell solely on two personalities, nor straight vs. mixer. Surveys indicate that back-pain patients who go to chiropractors are more satisfied with their care than are those who go to medical doctors.
Chiropractors feel around.
They have a nice tactile sense, and patients feel relieved. The article makes one wonder if chiropractic will ever get out of its own way. The straights and mixers will never agree philosophically, but chiropractic has demonstrated growth despite divisiveness. The article addresses the ever-increasing acceptance of alternative therapies such as chiropractic, acupuncture, hypnosis, and biofeedback. Thankfully, the unbiased, concise article is one that is well-researched.
