CHAPTER III
SUPPLY AND DEMAND IN CHIROPRACTIC
THE great science of chiropractic has aroused the
thinking public, as well as the student of research, to seek knowledge
as to the cause and effect in human ailments, relative to abnormalities
and disease, with an earnestness equal to that expended in any branch of
learning, and this curiosity is not becoming lessened by any means.
The scrutinizing eye of the many who suffer and who have been duped by
all sorts of quackery is open wide to the fact that chiropractic does go
after the cause and has amazingly produced relief.
The demand, therefore, for the skilled Chiropractor
is greater than the supply. People are not looking for theory, they
are wanting results and results are obtained when the Chiropractic Doctor
adapts his practice to common sense rules, yet scientific manipulation
in adjusting the vertebrae. When a uniform method of Painless Chiropractic
is practically adopted by the profession, the universal demand for the
Chiropractic Doctor will create a permanency for service unequalled in
the history of our healing art.
Let the reader study well the illustrated methods
given herein, and practice them until thoroughly familiar with every move.
Then he or she will realize advancement and receive due praise and remuneration
from those who come to their office to get well. When a person unacquainted
with chiropractic is induced by a friend to give it a trial, the first
statement made by the inquirer is that Chiropractors hurt. The next
is a question as to what school the Chiropractor graduated from.
What is the reason for all this regarding a Chiropractor? First,
because he has hurt others by severe adjustments. He has helped some,
that is true, but his remedy for getting folks well is more feared than
the disease. Second, because the Chiropractor has been controlled
by just what knowledge he acquired at school, without investigating for
himself or thinking independently, thus confining himself to the satisfaction
of methods first learned. Chiropractors are usually known by their
methods of adjusting, while the medical men are uniform, inasmuch as they
all give about the same kind of pills.
If we could have a uniform chiropractic based upon
painless adjustments the public would look upon our profession as
one and the same thing, varying only in degree of the artistic and scientific
application of our remedy. This can be done and will be don, since
the thinking, studious chiropractic mind is turned in that direction, and
hundreds are already giving painless adjustments thereby realizing speedy
and remarkable results.
The Demand creates the Supply and when efficiency in service
is rendered, the Supply creates the Demand.
