Chiropractic Philosophy
Does Dr. Hume believe that a series of Chiropractic adjustments will treat all diseases?No! Unfortunately, this is a "philosophy" taught in some Chiropractic colleges. Dr. Hume's Chiropractic practice is firmly grounded in science and she does not subscribe to this philosophy. Her Chiropractic education in Canada presented this as an historical footnote about what Chiropractors used to believe.
However, all Chiropractors do share a philosophy which is distinct from the medical viewpoint. A Chiropractor is always looking for what supports health. A medical doctor, when examining a patient, is asking the question "is there a disease or disease process here?"
A Chiropractor is a specialist in restoring health without drugs or surgery, whenever possible. This could be accomplished in many ways such as with Chiropractic adjustments , nutritional intervention, exercises, or even a conversation. Rarely is it necessary to refer a patient for drugs or surgery.
