Subluxation Syndromes: A Condition Whose Time Has Come?

Abstract

Controversy surrounds the use of the term ‘subluxation’ within the chiropractic profession. This paper suggests that doctors of chiropractic should develop an evidence base that focuses on the clinical entities that are treated in clinical practice. Such effort might include documenting common locally symptomatic subluxations in each joint region and subluxations that cause more distant neurophysiological effects.
