If a doctor in a busy practice discovers that a certain adjustment or treatment has a particular effect on a particular diagnosis or pathology in a sizeable number of patients, he may wish to share that information with his colleagues. Most chiropractors choose No. 1. More and more are choosing No. 3. We're talking a forum for sharing clinical information without having to pass that information before a board of academics who may know nothing about the procedures described. Given the psychosomatic nature of pain and disease, science will never be able to give the practitioner anything other than odds or percentages.
Nothing works all the time.
So, please, Mr Petersen, give us that forum. Who knows, even Dr. Keating may be able to gather a pearl of wisdom from among the garbage. We are chiropractors, not MDs. MDs use medicine to treat symptoms, we chiropractors restore bodies to normal functioning by eliminating subluxations. Imagine a campaign to pressure Harvard Medical School to offer a Clinical Chiropractic Certification course.
