[edit] New article
New and more correct title for article. The old article title (Chiropractic school) was singular... This change was made in response to the suggestion of an editor and was discussed on the chiropractic talk page. That article was simply getting too large. Appropriate wikilinks have been left in the right places. -- Fyslee 08:36, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] tag gone
I've removed the POV tag from the article. If you think there are POV problems, point them out. Cheers. --Hughgr 22:59, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Correction of a wrong info
On march 22nd the user '60.230.207.6' canceled the item 'France' to put 'Sweden' at the same place with untrue news: he stated that the swedish school recognized by ECCE , bt it's not true as everybody can read here: The European Council of Chiropractic Education. It's clear that this person wants to sabotage the French school of chiropractic. I put back the right Item with France canceling the wrong one with Sweden. It's true in Sweden there is a school, but it should be reported in the right way. At the moment the ECCE site does not present the Swedish college as a recognized one. In any case it's not fair to erase a right item. (see 'History of this article' to state the changes)
I also corrected inaccurate information. I removed the University of Bridgeport's name as a “school that was founded to support their founder's promotional business development and marketing efforts.” The University of Bridgeport College of Chiropractic was originally licensed by the State of Connecticut in 1990 and started instructional activities in 1991. The funding that the University received from the Professors World Peace Academy (PWPA) (which at the time was headed by a Rabbi not a member of the Unificationist movement) did not come until a few years later. Having been a faculty member at UB since 1991 I’ve never had anyone attempt to proselytize me or anyone else on campus. Thus, one could debate forever the motivation for the PWPA gifts to the University, nevertheless, it is in accurate to even imply that the College of Chiropractic’s founding had anything to do with the Unificationists.

[edit] Needing citations
I've removed these paragraphs and put them here because they need citations and I didn't want to tag every sentence. Some of it seems factual and some of it seems embellished. If citations are found, by all means re-insert it.
The naturopathic/metaphysical divide within the profession has seen a move away from the word "chiropractic" by several colleges, embracing a more generic "health" appelation instead of the traditional chiropractic nomenclature. The "naturopathic" schools de-emphasize traditional chiropractic metaphysics, adopting a pluralistic complimentary alternative medicine paradigm (applied kinesiology, acupuncture, Oriental herbalism, Taoism, Rolfing, nutriceuticals, phytochemicals, general manipulation, etc.), while the "metaphysical" schools emphasize B. J. Palmer's philosophy of Innate Intelligence channeled though the vertebral column to the extremities, where the Neuro-Vertebral-Subluxation Hypothesis of Dis-ease is putated to exist, and limits the practice of chiropractic to adjustments of the spine to restore neuro-cybernetic homeostasis, which restores the body's ability to transmit Innate Intelligence through the spine to the viscera, tissues, and cells. Course programs at the respective schools mark each school's orientation, and several schools adopt an eclectic hybridization. Both orientations differ widely from allopathy's neurology, orthopeadics, nutrition, physiatry, and rehabilitation.
Four of today's chiropractic schools were founded to support their Founder's promotional business development and marketing efforts. Both Life Chiropractic Colleges (GA,CA) were established by promoter Sid William's "practice management" motives, where doctors of chiropractic learned the skills to sell chiropractic to the masses. Parker College of Chiropractic (TX) was founded to aid the "practice development" of its promoter and founder James Parker's "practice-deveopment seminars" to build financial independence for chiropractic graduates. The Murdock University of Chiropractic in Australia is only tangentially-related to the Media Mogul Ruppert Murdock.

[edit] Merge discussion
I agree that either Chiropractic schools or Chiropractic school has to go and am open to arguments for either. ---- Dēmatt (chat) 05:22, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Australia
I'm not sure its right to start off with "Chiropractors in Australia do not hold the title of Doctor" because it is untrue. All medics, dentists, vets, and chiropractors with 5 years of official education will almost always use the title/prefix of "Dr" in their workplace. Are you referring to the degree? Yes, in USA the degree of 'M.D.' (Doctor of Medicine) will be called 'Bachelor of Medicine/Bachelor of Surgery' here in Australia (MBBS). Similarly, the degree of 'D.C.' (Doctor of Chiropractic) will be called 'Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Chiropractic' here (Murdoch Uni). Tsufi (talk) 18:20, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
- You you can provide a verifiable reliable source which confirms what you are stating here, then by all means update the page. Be sure to cite the source which you are getting the information from. -- Levine2112 discuss 04:19, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
- My only sources are clinic websites themselves. For example, three graduates of the BSc/BChiro double-degree from Murdoch set up their own clinic called 'Western Chiropractic'. All three refer to themselves as Drs -> http://www.westernchiropractic.com.au/ (click on Meet the Team). This is the same case with any other graduate of chiropractic science from any of the other three universities which teach it here in Australia. I'll update now to something a bit more informative.

[edit] The educational paradigm
Hey EBDCM, we need some references on the straight/mixer/reform statuses of the schools. Where are you getting that info? -- Dēmatt (chat) 05:05, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
- Its categorized by their curriculums, philosophies and treatment protocols. Reform is evidence-based primarily NMS; Mixer retains more traditional chiropractic techniques and philosophies and lexicon, straights are principle/subluxation based chiropractic colleges with strong sentiment tradional philosophy and practice. —Preceding unsigned comment added by EBDCM (talk • contribs) 05:25, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
