003: Two Models, One Profession? A Debate with Dr. Tim Young

from The Philosophy Standard with Dr. Mark J. Romano Hosted by Dr. Mark J. Romano

What is the adjustment, and who makes it: the chiropractor, or the innate law? Dr. Mark Romano debates Dr. Tim Young, a Cleveland graduate practicing in Oklahoma City and founder of Focus Foundations. Both are committed to chiropractic principles. They differ on what those principles mean in an office full of real people who want to know what chiropractic will do for them. Dr. Young describes his model in terms of restoring motion to the joint. Dr. Romano presses on the difference between introducing a force and the adjustment of a vertebral subluxation, and why the objective, not the technique, separates the two models of chiropractic. In this episode: - The objective as the real dividing line between chiropractic models - "The chiropractor does not make the adjustment," and what that means in practice - What Reggie Gold actually said, and what he didn't - Why no chiropractor can predict which physiological function will improve - Which schools remain closest to the non-therapeutic model - Why education starts on the first visit and never stops https://www.ntscinstitute.com/front-door.
