This is both a blessing and a curse! How so, you ask? Because even though those Chiropractors aren’t ‘real doctors’ their curriculum often exceeds a medical student’s in just about every category. This is by design, to actually degrade the Chiropractor. How does it degrade the Chiropractor? Because as long as Chiropractors are ‘compared’ to MDs they will never be ‘equal’ even if their curriculum is more demanding, simply because they’re not ‘medical doctors’…besides, Chiropractors are just ‘neck poppers and back crackers!’
No really, what ARE Chiropractors? They are well educated (as much as MDs) and highly trained specialists. Their upper level education (after the basic sciences) focuses on the detection and correction of the vertebral subluxation…a more proper name for them would be a Spinologist. This would force the Chiropractor to properly advertise and educate the public on the damaging and life shortening effects of vertebral subluxations. In this manner a Chiropractor would be understood as the specialists they are trained to be…bringing hope and increased life potential with each spinal adjustment they deliver. They would not try to act like (nor be compared to one) a MD, PT, or other ‘health care provider.’
Chiropractors are not ‘health care’ providers, the adjustment has nothing to do with health. The adjustment is meant to correct the subluxation; therefore, allowing the innate wisdom of the body to take over and restore as much nerve flow as possible. Can this improve health? Absolutely, but it is not the responsibility, nor burden, of the Chiropractor…that is between the individual and their innate.
When you KNOW and UNDERSTAND what ChiropraTIC is and what it’s NOT, you then understand the power of your choices pertaining to you own well being.
