What You Need to Know Before Referring to a Chiropractor is the first book written by African-American doctors in the field of Chiropractic. Drs. Davis and Joplin brings the science, art and philosophy of chiropractic to you in a publication with concepts that are easy to read and easy to understand. What You Need to Know… bridges the gap between allopathic (conventional) and alternative health care. It is written with you (the C.E.O. of your health) in mind. It provides a clear view of the history of chiropractic, conditions that chiropractors can effectively treat, the classifications of chiropractors within the profession and easy to read research that outlines the health benefits provided by chiropractic treatment.
