An All-Encompassing Text on Chiropractic,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Principles and Practices of Chiropractic (Hardcover)
Second to none, simply the gold standard of chiropractic text books. This text covers topics such as: History, Philosophy, Professional Integration, Public Health, Neurology, Biomechanics, Orthopedics, Manipulative Techniques, Rehabilitation, and more.
This should be standard reading for anyone involved in chiropractic and physical medicine.

Chiropractic is Universal,
By Chiro "George H." (San Diego, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Principles and Practices of Chiropractic (Hardcover)
This is an excellent book. It's a must for anyone beginning chiropractic study to know what chiropractic is all about. This book is a good reference for some portions of Chiropractic Principles for Part 2 of the National Chiropractic Boards.
Other books that I recommend for the National Boards include Handbook Clinical Care by Lawrence Wyatt Also National Board of Chiropractic Part II Study Guide:Key Review Questions and Answers National Board of Chiropractic for Part III Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations Both are by Patrick Leonardi

Perfect and Extremely Detailed,
By
This review is from: Principles and Practices of Chiropractic (Hardcover)
Principles and Practices of Chiropractic aim one unusual and still strange matter of alternative medicines, but it can obviously portrait everything from Philosophy to History and matter of Ethics and World-Based Medicine Insitutes.
It perfectly (with lots of details) shows the entire side of a non-well-known Medicine, and becomes a book, in its 3rd Edition, that could be used in Palmer Universities.
