Chiropractic practices are considered to be complementary/alterna-

tive therapies by allopathic physicians -- those practitioners who repre-

sent traditional medical procedures and who treat symptoms usually by

drugs, surgery or radiation, rather than according to causes of the symp-

toms.

I’ve learned over the years that there’s prob-

ably as much variation in chiropractic practitio-

ners as there is among either allopathic health

care professionals or other complementary/al-

ternative/holistic practitioners.

My trip to a local chiropractor usually re-

sults in a quick thrust to one or more of my spines

out of alignment, temporary relief, and then re-

sumption of pain after several hours, or sooner.

Although my chiropractor may use an electric

muscle stimulator, ultra-sonic, or other non-in-

vasive devices, he’s rather indifferent to the fact

that tendons and ligaments that have not returned

to normalcy within six weeks need a different

kind of treatment, called “sclerotherapy” by doctors of osteopathy, “prolo”

or “proliferative therapy” by medical doctors, or, by some, “reconstruc-

tive therapy.” (See our “Treatment of First Choice for Osteoarthritis and

Other Arthritic-like Pain,” and Pain, Pain Go Away by Morton Walker,

D.P.M. and William J. Faber, D.O.)

I’ve met other chiropractors who sell vitamins and minerals, usually

without any genuine knowledge of whether or not specific ingredients are

required; and yet others may utilize computerized acupuncture/meridian

measurements to determine not only the proper vitamins and minerals,

but also the suitable brands.

Regardless of how the

chiropractor approaches his

patient, most of them are

sincere, honest practitioners

who, like allopathic physi-

cians, work well within the

framework of their limited

background and knowledge.

One who stands out

from all those I’ve met, or

read is Paul Goldberg, D.C.,

M.P.H.!

Perhaps the reason

Paul is outstanding is be-

cause -- as reported in his

article “Arthritis/Rheuma-

tism: The Forgotten Pa-

tients, Part I,” this issue --

he, himself, was a sufferer

of arthritis, and was able to

solve his serious problems.

I’ve noted over the

years, as perhaps you have

also, that whenever a person, be he practitioner or layman, has struggled

to learn his own causes, and succeeded in achieving wellness, they are

dedicated health professionals, always willing to give a hand.

Paul Goldberg’s understanding of arthritis is absolutely outstanding,

shadowing over not just his fellow chiropractors, but also over many allo-

pathic and alternative/complementary/holistic physicians I’ve known.

Within the field of chiropractic practices, Dr. Goldberg might be

considered a maverick, just as many of our alternative/complementary/

Editorial

by Perry A. Chapdelaine, Sr.

Executive Director of The Arthritis Trust

The book depicted to the right is important! It can mean the difference between wellness and sickness,

normality and pain, pleasant living and torment.

This book is a must for all arthritics. One of its authors, Gus J. Prosch, Jr., M.D. has consistently obtained

an 80% cure rate from his arthritic patients since 1982.

And should you be fortunate enough to already have a copy, obtain more for friends and relatives who

suffer from either osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. They’ll thank you.

Contains 350 pages of specific treatments for arthritics. Here’s what Genevieve Heller, D.C. has to say

after receiving her book:

“Dear Perry:

“Please find enclosed my annual membership dues, $25, and a check for 26 books, Arthritis: Osteoar-

thritis and Rheumatoid Disease, Including Rheumatoid Arthritis.

“I am still reading the book, but I can honestly say it could have been rightfully called the book of

“Alternative Medicine,” since it includes so many types of therapy and approaches. I have been aware of many

of these over 30 years [of practice], but there were some that were new to me.
