I'm in my last year at CCC-KC and am amazed at the response of "Scope of Practice". Why do these people become chiropractors if they are not going to practice chiropractic? I just don't understand it. All of the procedures that the Doctor of Manual Medicine listed sure as hell are not chiropractic. I'm reminded of a thought once posed by William G. Blair, DC concerning chiropractic. Once the interfence from the nervous system is corrected by means of an adjustment, CHIROPRACTICALLY there is nothing else you can accomplish. The adjustment is the greatest service a DC could do for a patient. Why can't people get that?
Is it so hard to comprehend that chiropractic is not medicine? That we provide care and not treatment? That we adjust and do not manipulate? Here's a great quote by the great Carl S. Cleveland, Sr., "Competent Chiropractors are specific. They do not manipulate."
