Instead of having "answers" on a math test, they should just call them "impressions" and if you get a different "impression", so what, can't we all be brothers?

Joe, I thought that was a very good, thought provoking article you wrote recently for the FSCO newsletter.Thank you. It made me think what will the future of chiropractic look like?I have been in chiropractic for 30 years, as a patient,student and chiropractor.When I was a student,the preservation of the philosophy was paramount.It looks like the philosophy is largely being ignored these days.I am beginning to wonder if adjusting people's spines is also going to follow the philosophy.The last thing most chiropractors care about today is the adjustment.I know insurance companies don't pay as much for an adjustment as they do for other things,so I guess that adjustments might be left off the chiropractic "menu" someday.Who will preserve the philosophy? Who will be checking and adjusting people's spines? I really don't know.Is this profession so far off track that another profession will pick up the philosophy and begin checking and adjusting people's spines? I wonder.

It's already happened. Read Reggie's response in this article. http://www.thechiropracticjournal.com/news7.php
wow thank you,how timely! Spineolgy. I asked Reggie once if he ever considered the name "neuropractor" when he was starting the spineologist idea. He said no. DDPalmer referred to the spine/nerve system as a neuroskeleton,so maybe a new profession of neuropractic might evolve like spineology.
ReplyDeleteFunnily enough DD makes reference to a "Chiopractic" Spinologist on page 782 of his 1910 book. Wonder if that's where Reggie came up with the name Spinology? Also, Anthony Tremain who has since legally taken over Spinology, has recently made a name change to NeuroSpinology. It seems a number of "Spinologists" particularly in Ireland are practicing chiropractic but calling themselves spinologists. It seems there is no chiropractic legislation there in Ireland so anyone can do what tthey want and call themselves a chiro or a spino. At this rate someone may already be calling themselves a neuropractor. :)
ReplyDeleteWell, things are stirring. I think that's good and I like the name "neurospinologist"Hopefully the philosophy and practice will one day be accepted as common knowledge.
ReplyDeleteHey Joe,
ReplyDeleteYour incisive and telling words haven't come across my computer screen for so long now, it is fantastic to see your awesome mind reaching into my seemingly distant vicinity again. I would love to "sit and chew the fat" with you.
As you know, the recent developments in neural research have breached the "Alamo" of complacency that so many people, from so many fields, have gathered their professional forces behind. We old "philosophes", to categorise ourselves fondly a la Arouet, are now in a rather unique position.
Although I have long ago lost your contact details, it is good to see your name again my friend. I hope we'll have the chance to meet personally in the near future.
With enduring admiration,
Anthony Tremain
Thank you for this blog Joe,
ReplyDelete@ ticdoc1: It is sadly true that there are a few spinologist, from the Philadelphia school, that are practising a form of manipulative therapy and you are correct, there is nothing that can be done except wait for them to be done. The EU School of Spinology is very specific and exact on how a graduate can practise, and it is pure spinology, nearly identical to what I learned in Australia (technique and some terminology differs, but objective and outcome the same). The more graduates we get out there practising spinology the better for Ireland and the world. I tried like mad to turn the ship around when I arrived in 2006, but Enrique and Reggie both said to bide my time and be patient as we will have many more graduates doing 'the right thing' fairly soon. Keep up the great work Tom and Joe, and if you are ever in this beautiful part of the planet...please stop in for a pint of the black stuff.
Highest Regards
