Designed to be a primary reference for chiropractic students, this is a concise, scientific survey of chiropractic theories based on current research. Completely restructured for the Fourth Edition, this book focuses on the most current biomedical research on the three phase model of vertebral subluxation complex (V.S.C.). This is a useful reference for students studying for the National Board of Chiropractors Examination Parts II, III, and IV, as well as a post-graduate reference providing information on the chiropractic perspective on health and wellness, nutrition, exercise, psychosocial issues, and case management principles for wellness care. This new text focuses on developing critical thinking among chiropractic students, and includes new contributors and new chapters on principles of statistics and a minimum process for validation of chiropractic theory.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good for chiropractic students taking national boards, April 17, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The Chiropractic Theories: A Textbook of Scientific Research (Hardcover)

This book helped me on the Principles of Chiropractic portion of the Part II National Chiropractic Boards. The boards also lists this as one of the references used for this portion of the test. The following are helped out a lot.
National Board of Chiropractic Part II Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers isbn:0974328731
National Board of Chiropractic Part III Study Guide: Key Review Questons and Answers with Explanations isbn: 0974328723
The questions were great and the explanations show you how to think on this test. Leach's book, The Chiropractic Theories is a necessity for the boards and a reference in practice.
