Neurology is Chiropractic and Chiropractic is neurolgy. Once both are in tune, wonders happen ! For the ones who don't want neurolgy, no problem with me, but please start another ."profession". We will be able to co-exist without problem. leave to chiropractic what it is ! I am also a proud Palmer grad. :-)

I don't know why people are out to destroy this profession. We were founded on the nervous system; and where most other professions are improving their scope of practice, we are constantly being knocked down and reduced to lower standards. No one does what we do... no one. It's gotten to the point that most chiropractors don't even know what we do. I am a proud Palmer grad - I stood amongst the Founding Fathers. Instead of knocking us down, pour money into research, case studies, better marketing. All those DCs who went to jail for us... I hope that wasn't all in vain

Neuro-musculo-squelettics treatment is what chiropractic is all about.

Chiropractic is more than just back pain. We are all born extraordinary. Chiropractic helps the body heal itself by removing all interference. We help the body function at it's optimal by making sure the message between the brain and the rest of the body is fluent. We are doctors of chiropractic.

Nervous system function is at the core of the chiropractic profession. Do not remove from verbiage.

We need Neuro in the definition and advertising! Research and patient results related to their symptoms prove it is neurology that benefits with the chiropractic adjustment along with the muscular.

As Chiropractor I feel that without the neural component we cannot really speak of Chiropractic. Chiropractic was born to restore neurological performance and there is plenty of research showing the efficiency of chiropractic in doing that. Can you please tell us why do you want to promote chiropractic as a musculoskeletal experts?

This troubling trend has also lead to the move towards prescriptive rights for chiropractors, which also flies in the face of the very definition of chiropractic since its inception.

It is impossible to separate neurology from an adjustment of the spine. Why chiropractors would want to do this is beyond me. Flies counter to where our culture is headed, and what the research tells us. Very disappointing.

www.dnixdorf.com Chiropractic doctors are experts in spine and related conditions. The nervous system is integral to all spine and related conditions. Musculoskeletal may be a common subset of symptoms associated with spine conditions as well as independent joints like knees or wrists.

The abandonment of the neural component demonstrates a clear misunderstanding in how the musculo-skeletal components occur. Primary is interference to a person’s nervous system. One must ask, "Did the bone move out of place thus affecting the nerve which then affects the muscle?" Bones cannot move by themselves so there must have been a muscle imbalance first. Did the muscle imbalance occur first thereby causing the bone to move out of its normal position? Muscles do not think or act on their own so a muscle imbalance can only be the result of an unbalanced nerve supply to the muscles. So, the bone can only move if a muscle moves it and a muscle will only move when the nervous system tells it to. For us then, it is clear that a musculo-skeletal construct without the neurological component is a flawed, failed and incomplete approach to health that has already been promulgated by the allopathic members of the healthcare community.
