Diversity Versus Unity: Does Making Things Count Mean Making Everything Count?(Commentary) (Report‪)‬

Throughout its history chiropractic has faced two disparate and at times conflicting demands, unity and diversity. To survive and to flourish has required unity at some level, at least politically. Not that a review of chiropractic history would convince any outsider that unity has been an operational imperative. In many countries and in the US, the profession is still largely divided around two political associations with two differing images of what constitutes chiropractic. Canada of course has provided a vivid contrast where for most of its history there has been one political association and originally only one college. Even now with two Colleges, this is not because of political or philosophical differences.
