You may have recently read the front page article in the August 13th
issue of Dynamic Chiropractic by Howard Vernon, DC, of the Canadian
Memorial Chiropractic College. The article was an adaptation of his
"Neurobiological Mechanisms of Spinal Manipulation" presentation
made at LACC's 6th Annual Interdisciplinary Symposium March 5-6,
1993.
Now you can own a complete set of audio cassettes of the entire
weekend symposium including Dr. Vernon's lecture and the
presentations by all those listed above.
I am asked to review a wide variety of books and tapes. Some are
"straight" oriented and some are "mixer" oriented. In trying to be
objective for all, I come from the perspective that there are
differences in chiropractic between the basic and clinical sciences.
The so-called mixers tend to be interested in the basic sciences and
the so-called straights tend to be clinicians interested in simply
treating patients and getting them well. Because straight and mixer
are highly emotional words in our profession, I prefer to look at
those doing research as the branch of chiropractic interested in the
basic sciences and those actually in the trenches getting the people
well as clinicians. This symposium was definitely composed of basic
science folks. Presenters included DCs, MDs, PhDs, and several who
even had two or three of those degrees.
No matter what your persuasion, all chiropractors would certainly
sing from the mountaintops if one of these basic science researchers
"proved" to the world that chiropractic is the best treatment for a
particular disease. On the other hand, the most analytical basic
scientist could only be overjoyed if a chiropractor of any
philosophy makes a lame person walk. There is definitely room in
this profession for the analytical scientists, the people-oriented
clinicians, and everybody in between.
Instead of calling the other side divisive names, let us view the
profession as one with diversity of functions. Some people lean
more toward the basic sciences and some more toward the clinical
sciences. What's wrong with that?
"Neurobiological Mechanisms of Spinal Manipulation" is a basic
science seminar. It is thorough and deep. Six cassette tapes with
nine hours of incredible scientific lectures documenting the
efficacy of chiropractic adjustments are available now for $59.95
from the LACC Postgraduate Department. The value is very high and
the cost is exceptionally low for what you get.
