Abstract/Notes

Modernized Chiropractic is widely recognized as chiropractic's first textbook.  The text places great importance on the terms Special Philosophy, Subluxation, Spontaneity and Thrust.  These terms are indispensable to an understanding of how early chiropractors viewed their profession.  A better understanding of these terms may give the modern reader a window into the thought process of a group that had a great effect on the beginnings of the chiropractic profession and whose influence is seen today.
