The Medical War Against Chiropractors
American spine care has been deemed a “national scandal” brought on by the opioid crisis and the high rate of disk fusion failure.
Due to this clinical catastrophe, numerous evidence-based guidelines now recommend conservative (nondrug, nonsurgical) care such as chiropractic and massage therapy as front-line treatments that can help 90% of cases.
Research has shown chiropractic care is faster, safer, cheaper and more effective returning patients to work. The DRX9000 non-surgical decompression technology has an 86% success rate to stop pain and restore disk height.
Unfortunately, MDs don’t follow these guidelines, they follow the money.
Fortunately, JC Smith explains this in his writings.

The Chiropractic Subluxation:
A pragmatic conversation
The swirling 'tomoe' symbol may remind many of China’s well-known yin-yang symbol. However, the meaning and use are quite different. Tomoe, often translated as “comma,” were commonly used in Japanese badges of authority called “mon,” and as such tomoe are associated with samurai.
Tomoe can feature two, three, or even four commas in their design. The three-comma 'mitsu-domoe', however, is the most commonly used in Shintoism and is said to represent the interaction of the three realms of existence: heaven, earth, and the underworld.
Keep an eye out for tomoe and you will see them used to decorate all manner things from taiko drums and protective charms to lanterns and Japanese-style roofs!
The Chiropractic Subluxation is the discipline’s enigma with the imperative to reconcile a mechanical, material clinical intervention with a therapeutic target that may not be material or physical
