Abstract/Notes

Narrative: The problem with subluxation is political, not scientific nor philosophical. Subluxation has strong clinical relevance within the practice of Chiropractic, being integral to some 80% of the profession. The political positions and phrases which do little to advance or clarify the term are those offered by a small regulator in Britain based on 3 Heads of Chiropractic education programs each making a personal decision to eschew the term. Sadly we see a few institutions in other parts of the world plagiarise by cut and paste the GCC position, adopting it without critical review let alone without supportive evidence. If what I am saying actually represents the situation then Chiropractic education is slipping into a very weak position where an institution puts itself in a position to fail to attract future students due to them choosing to remove the essential essence of the discipline they purport to teach.
