I have got involved with a very interesting discussion on Linkedin on the relevance of the subluxation to chiropractic. The discussion moved on to “chiropractors needs cultural authority” like the osteopaths in the US and this point of view was…
Category: The Vertebral Subluxation Complex Theory.
The theory on which DD Palmer based his original hypothesis in 1895 that there was a relationship between a vertebra and Harvey Lillards ability to hear.
We now know spinal joint dysfunction effects how impulses from mechano receptors from the joints enter the central nervous system which regulates the systems the human body requires for optimal wellbeing
If you are going to treat symptoms this is the British Chiropractic Associations advice on complying with ASA code. If you correct vertebral subluxations its irrelevant.
THis is the advice the BCA is giving its members this month regarding advertising and The ASA from March the ASA CAP codes will be extended to cover on line marketing. This will come as a surprise to 700 BCA…
Skeptics do more to “promote” chiropractic than most chiropractors do.
For two year now I have resisted the temptation of twittering, seeing no reason to share my thoughts as I take a peek at page three on the table next to me. A friend who is a big honcho in…
Dawn of a new age or more smoking mirrors from Coats,Dixon and General Chiropractic Council.
The McTimoney Association seems very optimistic about the latest discussions with the GCC. The fact that members of the Alliance and the BCA sent out their own interpretation of the meeting should start bells ringing. I would advise everbody…

Subluxation – An historical concept? We dont think so ! The UCA starts the fight back.
As one of the original founder members of the UCA, can I say how delighted I was to get this postcard in my post today. We formed the UCA to defend traditional chiropractic practice and in recent years the UCA…
Born again, British Chiropractic Association joins skeptics “attack” on chiropractic.
When Richard Brown went begging for money to the international chiropractic organisations he spoke of the attack on chiropractic from the sceptics. When he is with his BCA colleagues he is talking prescribing and getting into the NHS. The “new”…
Its a bit premature for Zeno and GCC to write obituary of “Vertebral Subluxation”
On becoming a member of the GCC in 2007 one of the burning issues was the mechanistic definition of subluxation that the GCC had put on its website under FAQs. I had sent FAOI requests to the GCC because it…
GCC defines “subluxtion”
Unfortunately chiropractic like medical undergraduates have little discussion concerning the philosophy of health and yet it is an essential part of the way in which we understand the world. This omission from chiropractic education may explain why the extreme wings…
