"An excellent treatise on the current status of chiropractic." - L A Chotkowski, M.D., Amazon.com reader review
Product Description
While chiropractic can provide quality treatment for certain types of back and neck pains and related problems, many health-industry professionals and patients are under the impression that the practice can be used as a method for restoring and maintaining overall health. "Inside Chiropractic" is a clearly presented, practical guide that explores the facts and falsehoods of chiropractic from the view of a doctor with more than forty years of experience in the field-a noted authority on the safe use of chiropractic to treat physical pain. Dr Samuel Homola unleashes a startling critique of the well-established belief that chiropractic can treat infection and disease. Citing the shaky opinions and anecdotal evidence that support chiropractic treatments for a wide range of illnesses, Dr Homola states, 'Many chiropractors believe that correction of mis-aligned vertebrae can restore health and that regular spinal adjustments are essential for maintaining health. There is no definitive, scientific evidence to support such a theory.' "Inside Chiropractic" provides essential information to consumers, physicians, insurance carriers, and all concerned with the field on the origins of chiropractic, doctor education, choosing a good chiropractor, 'sense and nonsense' in the practice, alternative healing, problems and questions that remain in chiropractic, and more.
