Abstract

Spinal manual therapy is central to chiropractic history, clinical practice, and professional identity. That chiropractors have developed an expertise in this domain has provided some considerable advantages. However, we contend it is also at the crux of the ideological schism that fractures the chiropractic profession. In this article, which is the first in a series of two, we discuss chiropractors' understanding and use of spinal manual therapy and do so with particular emphasis on what we see as weaknesses it creates and threats it gives rise to. These are of particular importance, as we believe they have limited the chiropractic profession's development. As we shall argue, we believe that these threats have become existential in nature, and we are convinced that they call for a resolute and unified response by the profession. Subsequently, in part II, we discuss various strengths that the chiropractic profession possesses and the opportunities that await, provided that the profession is ready to rise to the challenge.

脊柱手法治疗和整脊疗法的新角色?第一部分:弱点与威胁。
脊骨神經醫學的歷史、臨床實踐和專業身份都以脊柱手法治療為核心。脊骨神经科医生在这一领域的专业技能为其带来了巨大优势。然而,我们认为这也是造成脊骨神经科学行业意识形态分裂的症结所在。本文是两篇系列文章中的第一篇,我们将讨论脊骨神经科医生对脊柱徒手疗法的理解和使用,并特别强调我们认为它所造成的弱点和威胁。这些问题尤为重要,因为我们认为它们限制了脊骨神经科学专业的发展。正如我们将要论证的那样,我们认为这些威胁已经成为一种生存威胁,我们深信脊骨神经科学行业必须对这些威胁做出坚决而统一的回应。随后,在第二部分中,我们将讨论脊骨神经科学专业所拥有的各种优势以及等待我们的机遇,但前提是脊骨神经科学专业必须做好迎接挑战的准备。

期刊介绍: Chiropractic & Manual Therapies publishes manuscripts on all aspects of evidence-based information that is clinically relevant to chiropractors, manual therapists and related health care professionals. Chiropractic & Manual Therapies is an open access journal that aims to provide chiropractors, manual therapists and related health professionals with clinically relevant, evidence-based information. Chiropractic and other manual therapies share a relatively broad diagnostic practice and treatment scope, emphasizing the structure and function of the body''s musculoskeletal framework (especially the spine). The practices of chiropractic and manual therapies are closely associated with treatments including manipulation, which is a key intervention. The range of services provided can also include massage, mobilisation, physical therapies, dry needling, lifestyle and dietary counselling, plus a variety of other associated therapeutic and rehabilitation approaches. Chiropractic & Manual Therapies continues to serve as a critical resource in this field, and as an open access publication, is more readily available to practitioners, researchers and clinicians worldwide.
