Clinical Chiropractic

The objective of this paper is to stimulate debate and discussion about “specialisms” in chiropractic. There is very little in the literature or online about whether chiropractors can or should specialise in treating particular conditions or groups of people. There seems to be a tacit acceptance within the profession that specialism is possible, but there is nothing published that states what scope and depth of knowledge or what competencies are necessary to justify the title of “specialist.” If there were such guidelines, it would give chiropractic credibility with other health professionals and would help protect the public from those who make spurious claims about their abilities and experience. This article lays out the current state of affairs around the world with regards to specialisms within chiropractic and offers a list of core competencies for chiropractors working in the sports and exercise field for consideration.

One of the conditions of submission of a paper for publication is that authors declare explicitly that their work is original and has not appeared in a publication elsewhere. Re-use of any data should be appropriately cited. As such this article represents abuse of the scientific publishing system. The scientific community takes a very strong view on this matter and apologies are offered to readers of the journal that this was not detected during the submission process.
