Something controversial or provocative about this subject  Like any other profession, there are good chiropractors and bad chiropractors. A good chiropractor is able to use the best available evidence to support a recommendation for patient care, tempered with the informed patient's wishes and the practitioner's clinical experience.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  90% of all skilled spinal manipulation in North America is performed by licensed Doctors of Chiropractic. 95% of chiropractic patients have musculoskeletal pain conditions (e.g. back pain, neck pain, headache, pain in the shoulder, arms or legs) as their main complaint.
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?  Interdisciplinary cooperation between the medical and chiropractic professions which I hope to encourage as a D.C./M.D. upon completion of my medical education.
What do you like about this subject?  Chiropractic is a health profession concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disorders of the musculoskeletal system, and the effects of these disorders on the nervous system and general health. There is an emphasis on manual treatments, including spinal manipulation.
