Article from Journal of Controversial Medicine

In 2002 the Journal of Controversial Medical Claims requested the NACM to submit a paper for publication:

• Title: NACM and its argument with mainstream chiropractic health care.

• Journal: Journal of Controversial Medical Claims

• Authors: Timothy A. Mirtz DC, Preston Long DC, CDE1, Alan Dinehart DC, MD, Ronald L. Slaughter DC, MS, Charles E. DuVall, Jr. DC, MPS, Randy Bryson DC, Fred Kourmadas DC, MS, John Campo DC, CICE

Authors notes

• The authors wish to point out that at time of acceptance of this paper, references were not included due to length of the paper and from what the editor of the journal termed “limited space.” This editorial concern prompted the reference section to be labeled: references available upon request.

• The authors wish to point out one quote which was not referenced adequately. The quote “In medical quackery, inventiveness seems to be limitless.” belongs to reference number 34 (Skrabanek, 1988.)

• The authors wish to inform the reader that after this reference section there are additional references used by the National Assocation for Chiropractic Medicine. Also contained is a chart entitled “Further Confusing Features of the Chiropractic Subluxation” which was not used in the forwarded journal submission but is provided as a key point.

• These references presented here are those references prior to review of the pre-production galley sheet. Pre-production galley sheets allow for individual corrections to be made.

• Please note that at this time we are predicting, due to space requirements, that the last two sections of this paper will be omitted.

Table: Further confusing features of "chiropractic subluxation"

[1] Is believed to be present in all individuals regardless of health status, age, race, sex, or creed.

[2] May or may not have a measurable (whether questionable) overt or local neurological dysfunction or effect.

[3] May or may not have an anatomical component (misalignment)

[4] Is believed to be linked to past, present, and future health status including death.

[5] May or may not have a metaphysical component (Innate Intelligence)

[6] Imperative that correction be applied via adjustment (manipulative thrust) with or without cavitation (audible "click")

[7] Only a chiropractor and no one else can determine if "chiropractic subluxation" is present or absent.

[8] Only a chiropractor and no one else can assess if correction of "chiropractic subluxation" has occurred.

[9] Imperative that all people be "checked" for "chiropractic subluxation".

[10] Is believed to be created during birth process (gestational phase) and/or birth delivery and ended when death occurs.

[11] No two subluxations are the same or can be described in any consistent shape, form or fashion.

[12] Subluxation of any spinal area has yet to be systematically categorized, agreed upon, and consistent for any given condition or population for any disease or non-disease state.

[13] Persons may or may not have primary, secondary, or tertiary subluxations in any consistent shape, form, or fashion at any given time.

[14] Any "chiropractic" adjustive method is said to correct "subluxation" even those systems which are diametrically opposite to each other.
