In this excerpt Jeff Langmaid highlights how chiropractic practices are often underrecognized, underintegrated, and misunderstood within many health systems. He references a recent study published in Chiropractic and Manual Therapies that provides strong evidence for chiropractic’s important role in strengthening rehabilitation within larger health systems. He uses this study to frame the broader conversation about the future of chiropractic, questioning whether the profession is evidence‑based enough, accepted by mainstream medicine, and positioned as primary spine or musculoskeletal care providers.

Well, the problem is, in many health systems, chiropractic and the individual chiropractic practices are pretty underrecognized. They're underintegrated, and they're often pretty misunderstood. So this study came out in Chiropractic and Manual Therapies, and it makes a pretty strong case that chiropractic has a really important role in strengthening rehabilitation within larger health systems. And I think it's a pretty big deal because when we talk about the future of chiropractic, often we can get stuck in conversations that probably sound pretty familiar to you. Are we evidence-based enough? You know, are we accepted by medicine? Are we primary spine care providers or musculoskeletal experts? And the truth is, this paper gives us a really useful way to frame that future conversation.
