| | |  Chiropractic - Criticism of chiropractic: Encyclopedia II - Chiropractic - Criticism of chiropractic
Critics, including many mainstream medical doctors and scientists, often reject the claims of some chiropractic associations and schools as pseudoscience, quackery, or fraud.
Advocates believe at least some of this criticism was encouraged by the American Medical Association during the 1970s and early 1980s in what they have labeled "anti-chiropractic prejudice". In a carefully worded statement, the judge in a trial against the AMA recognized that this skepticism was also the inspiration for the AMA's actions in instituting an illegal ...

Early in the twentieth century, the American osteopathic profession adopted the use of medicine and surgery, whereas chiropractors continue to use strictly manipulative techniques.

| | | | Chiropractic - Criticism of chiropractic: Encyclopedia II - Osteopathic medicine - Criticism In the United States Osteopathic medicine has been criticized for including unproven therapies such as cranial and cranio-sacral manipulation, and for having a greater tolerance for alternative medical practices. Osteopathic medical schools have been criticized for being less focused on research than allopathic schools. Critics also have pointed towards one study showing slightly lower GPA and MCAT scores among enrollees when compared to allopathic schools. Also, as the field encompasses all conventional medical prac ...

| | | | Chiropractic - Criticism of chiropractic: Encyclopedia II - Osteopathic medicine - Osteopathic Principles These are the eight major principles of osteopathy and are widely accepted throughout the osteopathic community. They are taken from the curriculum of the Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine.
(1) The body is a unit.
(2) Structure and function are reciprocally inter-related.
(3) The body possesses self-regulatory mechanisms.
(4) The body has the inherent capacity to defend and repair itself.
(5) When the normal adaptability is disrupted, or when environmental changes overcome the body’s capacity for self maintenance, disease may ensue.
(6) The mov ...

| | | | Chiropractic - Criticism of chiropractic: Encyclopedia II - Osteopathic medicine - Techniques of Osteopathic Manual Medicine OMM There are different techniques applied to the musculoskeletal system. These techniques can be applied to:
(1) The joints (using High Velocity Technique, mobilization, etc.)
(2) Their surrounding soft tissues (using functional and soft tissue techniques, etc.)
(3) The muscles
(4) The fascia.
When combined, these forms of treatment allow the therapist to restore the normal contact within the joint and with other structures. This eliminates muscular spasms and tensions in the ligaments thereby restoring complete mobility to the joint. ...

| | | | Chiropractic - Criticism of chiropractic: Encyclopedia II - Osteopathic medicine - Osteopathic Medicine Around the World There are two main schools of thought within the osteopathic world. They are so different in practice as to be separate professions, but there have been attempts in the last few years to enhance exchange and dialogue between them.
In the United States osteopathic medicine is practiced by those holding a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree (D.O.). A doctor with a D.O. is a fully licensed physician, just like an M.D. (Doctor of Medicine). Many are unaware of the D.O. degree, yet those holding it serve as physicians and surgeons in all ...

| | | | Chiropractic - Criticism of chiropractic: Encyclopedia II - Pseudoscience - Criticisms of the concept of pseudoscience Since it implies rejection by the mainstream scientific community, the term "pseudoscience" removes the perceived legitimacy afforded by the category "science". Since, historically, it has been applied to competing theories and interpretations of empirical evidence within the mainstream--sometimes with emotional overtones--critics caution against its over-use.
Another criticism is that it is impossible to define the term pseudoscience with the degree of rigor commonly demanded of scientific definitions. Although various definit ...

| | | | Chiropractic - Criticism of chiropractic: Encyclopedia II - Crank person - Related terminology "Kook" is a somewhat similar pejorative term that is usually used to describe a person whose areas of interest are perceived to be eccentric, fantastic, or insane. A person may be said to be a "kook" if they are seen to hold socially unacceptable beliefs, or perceptions that outrageously conflict with known scientific results, and appear to base their entire world views upon them. The term was coined in 1960 and originates from the word cuckoo, which is also the name of a bird, but which ...

Treatment in a public hospital as a public patient is fully subsidised by Medicare. Regardless of means, every Australian is entitled to attend a public hospital and receive medical treatment free of charge. However, there may be a considerable waiting list for elective surgery. Treatment and hospital accommodation is free to the patient. T ...

| | | | Chiropractic - Criticism of chiropractic: Encyclopedia II - Pseudoscience - Introduction The standards for determining of any body of knowledge, methodology, or practice as nonscience vary, but often include lack of empirical evidence, unfalsifiability, or failure to comply with scientific method or apply a heuristic such as Occam's Razor. A number of attempts have been made to apply philosophical rigor to the notion with mixed results. These include Karl Popper's criterion of falsifiability and the historiographical approach of Imre Lakatos in his Methodology of Scientific Research Programmes. Other historians and philosophers ...
