W.C.C.S THE RESEARCH

Art encompass skillful actions grounded in the knowledge and understanding of achieving a specific objective. Research in this field of chiropractic would comprise the analysis of the artistic expression through which chiropractors do what they do. For example, research on the inter-examiner reliability of leg checks.

The Science

Science is the study of the patterns and mechanisms of reality, leading to an understanding of how reality works. Science is the accumulated knowledge, systemised and formulated from the discovery of general facts, reduced to general laws embodied in a system. Research in this field would comprise the analysis of quantitative chiropractic phenomena. For example, research on the level of activation of neurons in the forebrain following a chiropractic adjustment.

The Philosophy

Philosophy is the study of causes, reasons, powers and laws underlying reality that lead to an understanding of its fundamental nature. Philosophy asks the questions of ‘why’. Research in this area of chiropractic would comprise the analysis of qualitative chiropractic phenomena. For example, research on a chiropractic patient care questionnaire.
