American chiropractors are frequently directed to countries in Europe and Scandinavia for examples of science based, well integrated chiropractic. Many people assume Australia’s 3700 chiropractors must be practicing in a similar situation. What is chiropractic like down under?
Dr. John Reggars is a chiropractor in Australia who is mad as hell about the current state of affairs. The profession is at yet another crossroads with a history of making the wrong decision and he wants people to stand up and declare their intolerance for the fundamentalist anti-science. His article titled “Chiropractic at the Crossroads – or are we just going around in circles?” is sure to ruffle some feathers both down under and around the globe.
In this episode of the On The Other Hand podcast, Dr. John Reggars speaks with Dr. Brett Kinsler about what has him as mad as hell and why he won’t take it anymore!
Maybe someone reading this might be interested in the experience of a patient on this matter. My experience is that I am a conventional allopathic GP working full time, qualified in 1985. I had always regarded this spinal subluxation stuff as complete garbage.
Then I happened upon information that showed me how to diagnose the problem in myself. I had the treatment (not via a chiropractor) within a week of discovering the treatment (Atlas Profilax). The improvement in my condition was immediate and dramatic, and I am perfectly happy to forward a copy of the testimonial I gave to the AtlasProfilax people to any taker.
Quite frankly my attitude is that the obfuscation and stupidity around this condition has caused me serious injury. I feel fortunate to have had the problem corrected before the consequences of it caused irreversible injury. If I could identify a specific individual/group responsible for the suppression of this knowledge I would gladly launch legal action, as a public service.
What shocked me more than anything else was that once I knew what I was looking for I was quickly able to learn how to identify the common clinical presentations of subluxation of the atlas on the skull, how to identify the physical signs of this condition and how to demonstrate it on CT scan.
What is worse, the clinical complications of the condition are all perfectly comprehensible to anyone who has a basic understanding of anatomy and biomechanics in a moving person (as opposed to a cadaver).
All I can say is that the knowledge of this condition and its treatment is now spreading uncontrollably, courtesy of this great democratising instrument called the internet.
If us health practitioners do not wish to suffer from a serious relevance deficit syndrome it is time we all stopped siding with the academic authoritarians in our midst and looked afresh at the ample evidence that is available on www.atlasprofilax.ch www.atlantotec.com www.isyourheadonstraight.org and www.nucca.org
