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.)

Biomechanical Bridge: Connecting Hip Mobility to Low Back Health

Research now shows that limited hip internal rotation can significantly contribute to low back pain. This may be caused by hip joint variants, but more commonly by trauma causing adhesion of the hip joint capsule or even prolonged sitting, which overactivates the hip flexors and abductors, and underactivates the hip extensors and adductors.
