Guest guest Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 I heartily agree with . We must protect our turf or their will be no turf to protect. Chiropractic is more than a philosophy-it is also an art and a science. No other profession is trained to appreciate all three aspects of chiropractic and our key tool the adjustment.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 I can agree more. No where does it become more apparent than in the world of sports where LMT and ATC are adjusting on the sidelines. PT's are filling the courses on manipulation.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Funny thing is that these are the same people who have bad mouthed manipulation for years and years. I once worked in a DC/MD/PT setting and watched in horor at the PT attempting (key word) to manipulate. It was painful to watch and painful for the patient. Gotta go call a plumber to come through some sheet rock for me.... , DC, DABCO > > I can agree more.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Speaking of turf wars, in a CA class she taught this weekend, my wife was told by an LMT that there is an effort by some massage bigwigs to stop certified CAs from doing massage under their DC's direction and license. Just thought you ought to know. Rick Balsiger,D.C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
