Keeping Chiropractic Principled
Keep Chiropractic Practice Based on the Founding Principles of the Profession, whereas it remains a drugless profession, seperate and distinct from the influences of Medicine, also so that it is also able to provide services as a primary care, portal of entry health care entity, Chiropractic first, Drugs Second, Surgery last
Why is this important?
As the President of the Chiropractic Society of Texas, I am concerned with regard to the actions of our Bd of Examiners. They seem to continue to be influenced by other organizations in the state to "expand our Scope of Practice" . I have on numerous times addressed them these past two years, stating that Anytime we add what is not Chiropractic to Chiropractic, we have problems with litigation and legislation.
Our Board of Examiners has had 5 open litigations during this time with the TX Medical Bd & Texas Medical Association.
They have gone to the point of trying to take "Diagnosis" away from Dr.'s of Chiropractic.
The Profession of Chiropractic is NOT a medical sub-specialty, but a seperate and distinct profession, based on all things natural.
It already affects the whole human condition, via the nervous system.
The very source of addressing the spine and it's weight bearing articulations, via neurologic processes which control All body organ systems.
We are NOT simply "musculoskeletal" practitioners.
The Central & Peripheral Nervous system are the key to true Health.
The Chiropractic profession does NOT address symptoms, nor treat conditions. They remove Nerve Interferences to Allow the Inborn Innate control system of the body to function optimally as Nature intended it to do.
Regardless of condition, we all perform better, with a clearly functioning nerve system and its ability to convey Nerve & Mental
impulses to the systems of the body.
