I agree, and well said Richard. Medical docs are like fire fighters putting fires out, and we as Chiropractors are construction builders since we rebuild your body. I have a subluxation based practice, and teach subluxation. Function relates to 90% of the nervous system.

Also, I have an original oil painting from 1942 of BJ Palmer in my office

Unfortunately very few chiropractors follow B.J. He figured it out and all you have to do is follow him. Read his books and do exactly what he did and you can make it. As far as mixers go, I would like to be in a different profession from them. I don’t do what they do, I work with a different principle. The principle of chiropractic is that a subluxation interferes with the flow of mental impulses from the brain to the body and from the body back to the brain. An adjustment arouses the body’s Innate to make the Innate adjustment and then heal the body. If a chiropractor manipulates the spine to increase range of motion, or reduce inflammation or stretch a muscle or treat pain or increase circulation to the disc, he or she is working with another principle and is not chiropractic. It’s time that the real chiropractors who work with the chiropractic priciple stand up and differentiate ourselves from the D.C.s who are practicing under a differnt priciple.

Dr. Harshe,

Very well spoken. Interesting enough today I was doing a report with a new patient. After reviewing her films we explained her obvious upper cervical subluxation. She is skeptical. After all she spent every day for 2 weeks in the other local chiro’s office receiving therapy and it did nothing for her. They never even looked at her neck.

This has been a fairly common occurrence my 12 years in full time practice in 3 states. Nothing against my full spine brethren, the ones I know get the Big Idea.

Unfortunately, I believe we’re dealing with a situation where money is the first priority. Many docs do not have their heart in it, or lose it over the years chasing the “doctor” lifestyle. It’s very common.

I might ad: upper cervical vs. full spine or whatever else isn’t really the issue either. I have loads of respect for many colleagues who do phenomenal for their patients with other approaches full spine as well as upper cervical. These doctors care and do their best. When a doctor’s heart isn’t into what they do, that is when problems typically occur.

As far as schools go…I say for every defaulted loan the feds should go back and collect the money from the schools. We would have a much more sincere interest in our well being from the colleges. Fund raising from Alumni would take on a whole new meaning. LOL

I love it Brandon. Keepin’ it simple. Perhaps it is just too simple for some chiropractors. Keep it up my friend.
