5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent overview..., September 2, 2001
By A Customer
Dr. Haldeman has written a balanced and thorough overview of the chiropractic profession. It is somewhat dated but a medical literature search will quickly bring you up to speed as he continues to publish extensively in journals such as Spine. Highly recommended if you want the basics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Chiropractic is Universal, June 21, 2006
By Chiro "George H." (San Diego, California) - See all my reviews
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

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect and Extremely Detailed, January 27, 2008
By Cristina Villares Guimarães (São Paulo, SP Brazil) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Response to Dr. Chowtowski's "Review"
I found the Dr. Haldemans book to be a good book. Not the greatest, as certain things were a bit dated but all around an interesting read. Read more
