Chiropractic - Terry A. Rondberg, Timothy J. Feuling

Chiropractic by Terry A. Rondberg and Timothy J. Feuling, subtitled Compassion and Expectation, is a concise, easy-to-read explanation of the role of chiropractic in health care, written for both the layperson and the chiropractic professional.

In this book Chiropractic, the authors explore the history and philosophy of the chiropractic profession and set out guidelines for giving the best possible care. It is an in-depth and heartfelt study that also looks at what the authors describe as the history of medical discrimination against chiropractors, and it examines the future of the profession. A bold and intelligent book, full of candour, compassion and foresight.

Chiropractic was founded in 1895 by Daniel David Palmer in Davenport, Iowa. It focuses on the spine and the musculoskeletal system, and chiropractors work mainly with their hands, using manual adjustments of the joints. In the United States the profession had a long and often difficult relationship with organized medicine, which is one of the themes the authors discuss. Today chiropractic is practised in many countries around the world.

An informative book for chiropractors, students, patients and anyone interested in chiropractic, manual therapy, complementary health care and the history of the profession.
