Abstract/Notes

Narrative: The greatest challenge within the discipline and profession of Chiropractic today is about the weak position on, if not rejection of, the small, dysfunctional lesion within the spine known for Centuries and identified as subluxed vertebrae by the founder of Chiropractic, DD Palmer. 

We hold it is unethical for a Chiropractor to deliver therapeutic forces into and about the spine in the absence of an identifiable lesion together with the clinical evidence which warrants the adjustment.

Over two decades Rome and Waterhouse has painstakingly assembled and published evidence from the clinical literature supportive of such a treatable lesion. 

In this paper we gather and present this information as a unified whole in a manner which can not be refuted or ignored. All Chiropractic must become familiar with these evidence-based matters.
