This vast array of therapies available for LBP was previously compared to a super- market in which patients can wander down a particular aisle to choose among the many competing products and brands vying for their attention through marketing claims.3 Each clinician likely perceives that the care they offer for LBP is superior to the alternatives, and would like to believe that they hold the solution to the vast public health and economic problem presented by LBP. Chiropractors are probably no different in this regard, believing that nearly everyone with LBP would benefit from receiving spinal manipulation therapy (SMT). However, various surveys suggest that only 5-10% of adults in Canada and the United States visit a chiropractor in any given year.4-10 The goal of this commentary is to speculate about some of the reasons why not everyone with LBP chooses to seek chiropractic care, which are presented below as factors related to LBP, public perceptions about chiropractic, pa- tient preferences, and the chiropractic profession.

Mechanotherapy. - Taylor points out the importance of massage, mechanotherapy, bone setting, etc., and the practice of osteopathy. He thinks the profession has become too critical in regard to drugs, and the public has followed its example, and takes up the more readily with charlatans, who claim to cure without them. Moreover, there are comparatively few of the medical profession who have familiarized themselves with massage and mechanotherapy generally. Our schools of massage are entirely superficial in their training. The European masseur finds our physicians unable to appreciate his skill, hence his attempt to get into independent practice, and the prejudice and rivalry aroused against him. Taylor claims that the field of mechanotherapy is boundless, and it is the duty of the educated physician to learn more of it. He thinks if the medical profession would read half a score of small books thoroughly (after revising their knowledge of the nervous mechanisms) and make practical use of the light thus gained, they would feel little hesitation in going forward to acquire skill in so practical and valuable a branch of therapeutics.

    Visit to a Bizarre World—Chiropractic Alma Maters

    Visit to a Bizarre World -Chiropractic Alma Maters Posing as a patient, the author visits clinics of the world's two leading colleges of chiropractic-and undergoes some revealing experiences. by RALPH LEE SMITH "Oof!" I was kneeling with my head on a little headrest that reminded me of a chopping block. The student chiropractor in the Palmer College of Chiro­ practic Clinic, a young blond Hercules, stood over me with his hands planted, one over the other, firmly at a midpoint in my unsupported back. Suddenly he pushed down with all his strength and weight. "There must be a better way to get a story on chiropractic clinics," I thought to myself as Hercules moved his hands a little further down my spine. But I didn't say it out loud. Instead I said "Ouch!" as he did it again . Actually, although I had a sore back for a couple of weeks, there prob­ ably was no better way to get the story than the one I chose-namely, to offer myself as a guinea pig. I visited the clinics associated with the Palmer College of Chiropractic , Davenport, Iowa, and the National Col­ lege of Chiropractic , Lombard, Illinois. These are regarded with pride in the chiropractic world as offering the best in chiropractic care. At both I said that I was experiencing symptoms which are usually associated with the presence of certain serious conditions. The clinics' response made me wonder if I were Alice and had fallen down the rabbit hole. I chose the clinics of Palmer College and National College for several reasons.

Lee Iacocca, in his book about LIBERTY said: I know that liberty brings with it some obligations. I know we have it today because others fought for it, nourished it, protected it, and then passed it on to us. That is a debt we owe. We owe it to our parents, if they are alive, and to their memory if they are not. But mostly we have an obligation to our own kids. An obligation to pass on this incredible gift to them. This is how civilization works... whatever debt you owe to those who came before you, you pay to those who follow. That is essentially the same responsibility each of us has to preserve and protect the extraordinary history of this great profession.
