VITALISM vs. MECHANISM Medicine is based on mechanism, correction by intervention, which has some science, mostly art. Chiropractic is based on vitalism, correction by connection, which has some science, mostly art. Each claims to be scientific based on its own "science."
We know the results we get. So do 80% of our patients. But, how do we communicate this vitalistic science so it makes sense to our patients?
Much of the office procedure, doctor-patient relationship and general success in chiropractic come from the abilities of both the doctor and his assistants to communicate this DIFFERENT, vitalistic science to patients and make it understood. It is based on patient care, honesty, love, and doctor-CA-patient relationship as best practiced at Thornton Family Chiropractic.
