Largely, it has been negative. To a great extent it can be understood. It is quite difficult to keep a positive image when you are fighting desperately for survival. Perhaps now that survival appears to be assured, it is time to present a new, more positive image of straight chiropractic. It seems one of the major problems is that we have presented ourselves as limited scope practitioners.
Most people believe that more is better.
Our philosophy teaches us that this is not necessarily so, however, the public does not readily understand this concept. The chiropractor on the other side of town does much more. He uses this machine and that device in addition to the adjustment. Our recourse is usually to condemn these procedures, thus, continuing the conflict. Perhaps we need to make a 180 degree turn.
