Persistent chiropractic problems noted
- Samuel Homola, D.C., who retired after 43 years in practice, described: (a) his efforts opposing subluxation-based practice of chiropractic while advocating unsuccessfully for the development of his profession as science-based musculoskeletal specialty, (b) evidence that organized chiropractic continues to be based on discredited subluxation theory, (c) the role of discredited "natural" healing methods in contemporary chiropractic, (d) the potential for benefit and harm of spinal manipulation therapy, and (e) how chiropractic and physical therapy compare as career choices.
