Many Chiropractors uses physical therapy modalities. The Brazilian Pts have so many knowlege about human body and manual therapy that´s why Pts can uses chiropractic. Here in Brazil chiropractic it is a specialty of the PTs acording to Coffito resolution nº 220, So respect our laws, respect the sovereignty of our country.

While we squabble over straight vs. mixer, the rest of the world: physical therapists, m.d.'s, etc. see the obvious benefit of manipulation as a primary or adjunctive treatment of musculoskeletal disorders, and will steal it from us as they can. We need to stop squabbling amongst ourselves and send money to the Brazilian chiropractors. I'm down for $100. Whatever your position, put your money where your mouth is, or we won't be able to hang on to manipulation and spread chiropractic worldwide, whether we have subluxation based or straight or mixer practices.

CHIROPRACTIC PREDATES PT SO HOW CAN IT BE A BRANCH OF PT
NATIONAL TAUGHT PT BEFORE WWI
PT WAS ESTABLISHED AS A PROFESSION AFTER WWI TO TREAT THE WOUNDED
DD OUR FOUNDER SAID
"I WANT EVER CHIROPRACTOR TO KNOW THAT THE CAUSE OF DISEASE IS TOO MUCH OR TO LITTLE NERVE FORCE"
HE FURTHER SAID THE CAUSE OF SUBLUXATION IS 1.TRAUMATISIM,AUTOSUGGESTION,INTOXICATION
IN AK STRUCTURE,EMOTIONAL,CHEMICAL
SO FOR ALL YOU BONE POPPING CHIROPRACTIC IS ONLY WHAT BJ SAID SMALL MINDED THINKERS
WELCOME TO THE 21ST CENTURY
MODERN CHIROPRACTIC IS A TRULY HOLISTIC PROFESSION CONCERNED WITH ENERGETIC BALANCE AND THE TREATMENT OF SUBLUXATIONS BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY THE TREATMENT AND PREVENTION OF SUBLUXATIONS
AND ENERGETIC IMBALANCES
GIVING AN ADJUSTMENT AND NOT FIXING THE CAUSE
[SO IT KEEPS RETURNING]IS NO BETTER THAN AN MD MASKING THE PROBLEM WITH DRUGS

As a field doctor with the Clinic Abroad Program, I was fortunate to be part of a team to Brazil. I can tell you first hand that the team of Chiropractors and local doctors held themselves to the highest level of integrity and honor. What I witnessed was pure Chiropractic, with absolutely no modalities or anything remotely resembling PT.
Sorry, Chiro Dan, there was no PT being performed. It really reminds me of the AMA witch hunt. The PT's in Brazil are simply a good lobby group fighting against anything that they perceive as a threat to their way of life. It has nothing to do with the patient.
Programs like the Clinic Abroad Program at Palmer should be applauded for bringing Chiropractic to the people that need it most. The Chiropractic doctors in these countries are experiencing what our colleagues here experienced 20 years ago. Keep fighting...... way to go.
These programs do not abandon Chiropractic, they raise Chiropractic internationally and provide a fantastic service. We must plant a seed and fight the fight, or we will lose any identity that we have.

I feel it is the right of the PT's to take back there profession being BJ even said that that is the practice of MEDICINE. What ever happened to ADIO in chiropractic? Now we have way too many chiropractors practicing OIBU and diagnosing and treating symptoms using chiropratic adjustments and other modalities that belong to PT's. I don't feel it was fair for those students to get arrested, but if the shoe fits. Is chiropractic going to survive today because chiropractors keep abonding chiropractic to be accepted by MD's. Why would anyone want to be called a chiropractic physician or even an alternative to medicine. Gonstead was even intelligent enough to say.."Find it, fix it and leave it alone."
