Re: FW: [aca-members] Subluxation paper

[Guest guest]

This article is merely using a set of criteria to scan the literature for enough evidence to support a connection between vertebral subluxation and disease. Sadly, there is not much out there. That's what I got out of it. It tells me that we need to do more research to support treatment of subluxation as being effective for restoring a person to homeostasis. Enough back pain and neck pain studies already! The article unfortunately explores the outdated construct that subluxation is the cause of all dis-ease. Based on modern science and physiology we now know subluxation is NOT the cause of all dis-ease. Stress is the cause of all dis-ease. Subluxation is one of the ways the body adapts to stress. It is a state of dis-ease in and of itself. Subluxation THEN becomes a facilitator of stress within the body, furthering the dis-ease process along. Adjustment, correction, and/or management of subluxation can get a person less dis-eased, but until the primary stress is handled, a person will never be truly well. Dr. Chestnut lays all this out in his book "The 14 Foundational Premises for the Scientific and Philosophical Validation of the Chiropractic Wellness Paradigm". He has put together an awesome theoretical construct for vertebral subluxation which is based on the latest in physiology science. He calls the profession to action for more research that asks the right questions... how does adjusting vertebral subluxations affect global physiology and homeostasis?I'm thrilled that we will have him as our keynote speaker at the OCA convention 2011!Jamey Dyson, DC, CCWP On May 29, 2010, at 7:34 AM, vsaboe wrote:F.Y.I., more on "subluxation(s)" Vern Saboe Re: [aca-members] Subluxation paperA more recent paper concludes "There is no supportive evidence found for the chiropractic subluxation being associated with any disease process or ofcreating suboptimal health conditions requiring intervention. Regardless of popular appeal this leaves the subluxation construct in the realm of unsupported speculation. This lack of supportive evidence suggests the subluxation construct has no valid clinical applicability."_http://www.chiroandosteo.com/content/17/1/13_ (http://www.chiroandosteo.com/content/17/1/13) In a message dated 5/28/2010 10:11:48 A.M.
