hi beckyw,

I am assuming you were responding to my 2 posts.

To be fair, i used words like "from what i gather from Chiropractor association websites", "i fell", "i think", "i have observed" - i don't assume i know everything, just what i have gathered and researched.

I am trying to understand what you are trying to do here...have a discussion about something, be an apologist for chiropractic or try to convince us about something else?

Can i ask you a question...do you believe that the majority of chiros would ask a patient to see them ragularly - initially a few times a week and tapering off until they only need "maintenance" every 4-6 weeks - or see a patient only a few sessions (say 3-5), deal with their problems, set them up with self management and discharge them?

My personal experience has been the former rather than the latter.

I do not dispute your training or how long it took or anything else about your education. I do however believe that the majority of "opposition" you might face would be because of the passive reliance on the therapist (chiro) that physios have come across - this is very contrary to our training.

Perhaps you are a different type of chiro...

...do you encourage regular visits/checkups/etc to maintain "optimal" health?

If so, in my honest opinion, you would be promoting a passive reliance on you, the therapist.

I do not mean to be offensive, just honest.

What do you believe about physios?
