NACM Defines Chiropractic?

Since its inception in 1967, the National Association of Chiropractic Medicine (NACM), aka the Orthopractic Manipulation Society (OMS), has been extremely critical of the chiropractic profession. NACM Chairman of the Board Ronald L. Slaughter, MSc, DC (and OMS national executive director), presented his view of chiropractic before NACM/OMS members earlier this year:

"Chiropractic is a profession based on theoretical _nonsense_ (bulls**t) acceptable to no one but some (?most?) members of the chiropractic profession." (Emphasis and parenthetical comments belong to Dr. Slaughter.)

Because they have yet to pass national legislation protecting the chiropractic profession, Japanese DCs are in a similar situation that U.S. DCs faced. We were fortunate enough to be able to pass chiropractic licensure state by state. The DCs in Japan must accomplish this nationally, which has proved to be an extremely difficult task. And in spite of their efforts, Japanese DCs are currently faced with two chiropractic professions.

Whiplash-Associated Disorder: Use of O’Donoghue’s Maneuver
Whiplash-Associated Disorder: Use of O’Donoghue’s Maneuver

Recently, I taught a 12-hour whiplash class to a group of chiropractors for continuing education. I taught that performing O’Donoghue’s maneuver enabled the providers to differentiate cervical strain from sprain. To my surprise, one of the attendees stated that it is not possible to diagnose a cervical strain and sprain with a whiplashed patient using O’Donoghue’s maneuver.
