I am a final year student (i get my results at the end of this week!) studying at the University of Glamorgan in the UK. I regularly check out this website and try to show my colleagues too. i don't know if you know much about the state of chiropractic in the UK, but it is currently in a state of unease. the regulatory body (the GCC), has lost the confidence of the majority of the chiropractors. it is trying to filter out the profession (especially wellness chiropractors) and impose what chiropractic is and how it should be performed. as a result many chiropractors are not registering and calling themselves 'spinal specialists' or the like. many of my colleagues are leaving university disillusioned with the profession, with a lack of enthusiasm about chiropractic. many are unable to define what chiropractic is and what a 'subluxation' is. in college we are actually unable to use the word 'subluxation' and instead use the word 'facet irritation'. we can only treat areas that are painful and have been told of the apparent lack of evidence for long term chiropractic care. one of the highlights of the year was having Dr. James Chesnut to speak, bringing some well deserved balance into the course! Keep up the good work, as students we need encouragement and resources (that are free!) to help us realize that chiropractic is more about than treating a painful back! i love the audio and video - keep that coming!
