The Chiropractic Profession -- in Spanish

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

The book, La Profesion Quiropractica, a project of the Spanish chiropractic association (Asociacion Espanola de Quiropractica or AEQ) has recently been published. According to the author Antolin Silva Couto, BS, DC, CCSP, vp of the AEQ, the book was written because of the "absolute lack of information regarding chiropractic in the spanish language," and the need to inform Spain's legislators, politicians, and health professionals about chiropractic.

The 161-page book is a comprehensive and well-referenced review of the chiropractic profession, divided in five chapters: the vertebral subluxation complex; chiropractic practice; cost efficiency and clinical efficacy of chiropractic treatment; chiropractic education; and the legal situation of chiropractic around the world.

Dr. Couto states the book is the first scientific textbook in the spanish language. The lack of a basic textbook on chiropractic in spanish, Dr. Couto asserts, has resulted in the "isolation of the profession in spanish speaking countries," particularly as it regards other health professionals and lawmakers.

The book may be ordered by sending a check for $20 to:

Confronting the Threat to Chiropractic Education
Confronting the Threat to Chiropractic Education

The chiropractic profession is confronting one of the most significant federal regulatory threats it has faced in decades. A new U.S. Department of Education (ED) accountability framework – commonly referred to as the “Do No Harm” (DNH) regulation – could place many chiropractic programs at risk of losing access to federal financial aid (student loans), potentially reshaping the future of chiropractic education and workforce development across the United States.

From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics
From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics

Pain has become the dominant language of musculoskeletal healthcare. Numeric pain-rating scales and symptom reports are routinely used as primary indicators of clinical success. But while pain reduction is meaningful, it is an incomplete and often misleading representation of recovery. This has real consequences for patient adherence, long-term outcomes, and how conservative care is perceived within the broader healthcare system.
