As you may know, during its inception, chiropractic was viewed as something akin to quackery. It was certainly not taken seriously in medicine or science circles. Eventually, chiropractic began to move toward science and medicine and today has become an accepted care practice with most medical and scientific groups. At a chiropractor office San Diego True Chiropractic is an excellent example of modern chiropractic. http://www.truechiropracticsandiego.com

Research to test chiropractic theories began in 1935 with the B.J. Palmer Research Clinic at the Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. The clinic was organized into two divisions—a medical division and a chiropractic division. The medical division contained all the standard medical tests of the time and was used to establish a medical diagnosis of a patient's condition before the patient received treatment. The chiropractic division administered the treatment which included passive therapies, chiropractic adjustments and physical rehabilitation for the various conditions diagnosed. Research continued in the B.J. Palmer research clinic until B.J. Palmer's death in 1961 and the results and findings of these patient cases were the substance of B.J. Palmer's publishing over this 30 year time-period.

Serious research to test chiropractic theories did not begin until the 1970s, and is continuing to be hampered by anti-scientific and pseudo- scientific ideas that sustained the profession in its long battle with organized medicine. In 1975, the National Institutes of Health brought chiropractors, osteopaths, medical doctors and PhD scientists together in a conference on spinal manipulation to develop strategies to study the effects of spinal manipulation. In 1978, the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics was launched, and in 1981 it was included in the National Library of Medicine's Index Medicus. Joseph C. Keating, Jr. dates the birth of chiropractic as a science to a 1983 commentary in the JMPT entitled "Notes from the underground" in which an instructor in basic science at Palmer College in Iowa, revealed the power of a scholarly journal (JMPT) to empower faculty at the chiropractic schools. DeBoer's opinion piece demonstrated the faculty's authority to challenge the status quo, to publicly address relevant, although sensitive, issues related to research, training and skepticism at chiropractic colleges, and to produce "cultural change" within the chiropractic schools so as to increase research and professional standards. It was a rallying call for chiropractic scientists and scholars. By the mid-1990s there was a growing scholarly interest in chiropractic, which helped efforts to improve service quality and establish clinical guidelines that recommended manual therapies for acute low back pain.

Now there are multiple techniques, innovative devices and incredible knowledge of the human body and how chiropractic care can benefit the entire family.  Dr. Matt Hubbard and his staff at True Chiropractic chiropractor office San Diego, are experts in all of it.  http://www.truechiropracticsandiego.com/services
