Abstract/Notes

Narrative: Samuel Homola is a retired Chiropractor known for his critical views on certain practices within the profession. He has been active since the 1960s and has authored several books. His schtick is his claim that he is  emphasising the importance of evidence-based practices in Chiropractic care.

Here I present sound arguments exposing his flawed reasoning and show he is out of touch with the profession as it is today. 

Homola’s claims are illogical and he shows weakness in his understanding of the fundamental tenets of the discipline. I conclude it is not Chiropractic which is weak but Homola himself who has slid from skepticism to dogma. 

Author keywords: Chiropractic; Gonstead; technique; Homola; dogma.
