Because they have yet to pass national legislation protecting the chiropractic profession, Japanese DCs are in a similar situation that U.S. DCs faced.

And in spite of their efforts, Japanese DCs are currently faced with two chiropractic professions.
Letter to the Editor
“A Pivotal Advancement”
Dear Editor:
I am writing to express my enthusiasm and appreciation for the recent publication of Dr. Studin’s groundbreaking paper, “Biomechanical Pathology Is Vertebral Subluxation & Offers a Direct Solution to Increase Utilization” in Dynamic Chiropractic [web exclusive published in the December 2023 issue]. As an avid reader and practitioner in the field, I believe this paper presents a pivotal advancement in our understanding of chiropractic care and its potential impact on patient treatment.
Dr. Studin’s paper delves into the intricate relationship between biomechanical pathology and vertebral subluxation, shedding light on how these concepts are interconnected and offering a clear path toward enhancing utilization within chiropractic care. The thorough analysis and evidence-based approach taken in this paper provide a comprehensive framework for chiropractors to comprehend and apply these principles in their practice effectively.
The recognition that biomechanical pathology and vertebral subluxation are intertwined is a monumental stride in the evolution of chiropractic care. This realization not only strengthens the theoretical foundation of our discipline, but also holds promise for refining treatment strategies and ultimately improving patient outcomes.
Furthermore, Dr. Studin’s proposed solutions for increasing utilization by integrating these concepts into practice resonate deeply within the chiropractic community. The emphasis on education, clinical application, and research underscores a commitment to advancing our field and ensuring that patients receive the highest standard of care.
Disseminating Dr. Studin’s paper in Dynamic Chiropractic will spark constructive dialogue among practitioners, researchers and educators. This discourse will undoubtedly foster innovation, encourage further exploration, and elevate the standards of care within our profession.
I commend Dynamic Chiropractic for publishing such a groundbreaking paper that has the potential to redefine the way we approach chiropractic care. I hope this publication serves as a catalyst for continued exploration and collaboration within the chiropractic community.
Thank you for providing a platform for disseminating progressive ideas and contributing to the advancement of chiropractic knowledge.
