Detractors of non-therapeutic objective chiropractic have falsely maintained that we do not diagnose because we claim that chiropractic is a cure for all disease and consequently there is no need to differentiate disease. Objective straight chiropractic does not relate to disease. Its objective is to enable the innate intelligence of the body to be expressed more fully over the nerve system by correcting vertebral subluxation. That procedure is performed on all people regardless of the presence or absence of any medical condition or disease. That approach is logical and understandable.
Every person needs a good nerve supply to maximally enjoy life, regardless of their health.
Chiropractic adjustments improve the function of the nerve system. Every approach to the practice of chiropractic that in any way relates to medical conditions or their cause must perform diagnostic procedures for the safety of the patient and the protection of the chiropractor. If you do not relate to medical conditions those procedures are not necessary. There is no responsibility on the part of the chiropractor to diagnose. However there is an obligation on the part of the objective straight chiropractor to explain his or her unique approach to chiropractic and its objective.
