| description | Abstract Since its inception, the chiropractic profession has been divided along ideological fault lines. These divisions have led to a profession wide schism, which has limited mainstream acceptance, utilisation, social authority and integration.

Evidence is then provided for a way forward, based on the positioning of chiropractors as mainstream partners in health care. |
