Chiropractic's current state: impacts for the future.

Mootz RD

The chiropractic profession is currently facing a shift in practice and health care environments. This editorial reflects on the current state of the profession and suggests that the profession should move from the thinking and practice styles of the past that primarily attempted to prove patient care and practice to a more productive approach that strives to improve patient care and practice. The following primary areas that require attention are discussed: (1) evidence-based and best practices-oriented research priorities; (2) constructive engagement of the greater health care system; and (3) successful ethical business models.
