It's Ready...Almost

We are in the final stages of putting the new blog/website together. Still a few adjustments to make but I thought I would give you, the loyal blog readers a headstart. It's called chiropracticoutsidethebox.com. You can get on and read over 700 articles, thoughts and practice building tips for the past 26+ years. You can also sign up to receive notification when a new post/article is up. Comments are welcome on the new blog as on this one. It's not quite ready to take orders for products and free downloads but you can call the office for your needs or order through the FACE website which will be open until we are officially up and running. Meanwhile, thank you for your patience.

I Have Not Gone Anywhere

I'm still around. We've been busy putting together a new blog/web page. It will have 25 years of Pivot Reviews, practice building articles, the thoughts from this blog, free downloads and much, much more. Hope to have it up and running in the very near future. We will be able to send you an email when we've posted something (if you choose to recieve them), so you won't have to keep checking out this site anad think that I retired...or worse. Meanwhile hang in there, we've not forgotten about you.

A Survey

The fact that 42% of people going to "a chiropractor note their care as 'excellent' while only 27% gave high marks to their medical provider" (New England Journal of Medicine) is not that great a statistic. Most people go to a medical provider out of necessity. Going to a chiropractor is a choice. I would expect that the satisfaction would be much higher than 42%. What would the reason(s) for that relatively low percentage be?

Proving Chiropractic

The next time someone says that we are unable to scientifically prove the validity of chiropractic, ask them to disprove it. If they give you an argument, remind them that the role of science is to disprove theories and accept them only if the cannot be disproved (and sometimes until they are disproved).

Our unique role as chiropractors.

We all fill a unique role in life. We all make a unique contribution to our family, or profession, our work, our community, the world. If we do not fulfill that contribution, nobody else will. Some may cover parts of it but no one will make our unique contribution. By analogy, every cell in he body has a function. If we lose it, no other cell fills that need. We may compensate to a degree but something is lost.

The cause of disease

The only single cause to disease is trauma. Otherwise diseases all have multiple causes. It is interesting and noteworthy that trauma (external invasive forces) is the single cause of vertebral subluxation.

Understanding Subluxation

IF innate intelligence exists it is immaterial/metaphysical in nature.
IF innate intelligence creates a mental impulse, it too must be metaphysical.
Therefore the mental impulse can never be demonstrated, explained or even understood in physical/scientific terms anymore than innate intelligence can.
That creates two choices for the chiropractor. He must abandon his historical subluxation correction approach because subluxation correction involves an inteference with this non-material phenomena of an innate intelligence created mental impulse and he must become a practitioner of a physical therapeutic model
OR
he must make the metaphysical philosophy and its ramifications the center of his understanding and explanation of chiropractic rather than trying to explain or prove chiropractic in a scientific framework. Science does not accept anything outside of a materialistic paradigm.
