An Early History Or Chiropractic by Rolf Peters
An Early History Or Chiropractic by Rolf Peters
From the Foreword by Dr. Ebrall, “Dr. Peters’ research demonstrates that Palmer philosophy emphasized the importance of preserving and promulgating the identity of chiropractic as being separate and distinct from other forms of non-allopathic health care. The contention of our early pioneers that chiropractic, as defined by Palmer: should be studied, practiced, regulated and researched as a discipline in its own right and not combined with other approaches, “natural “ or otherwise, was considered draconian by some but succeeded in establishing mainstream chiropractic in Australia as a separate identity. The importance of this was the shaping of today’s profession as being unencumbered by such subsidiary modalities as iridology, acupuncture and homoeopathy that many non-Palmer chiropractors tended to practice alongside spinal adjustments.”
