The objective of this study was to determine the attitudes of clinical faculty during the 2009-2010 academic year at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College towards the treatment of various non-musculoskeletal disorders.
A confidential survey was distributed to the clinical faculty via email. It consisted of several questions polling the demographic of the respondent such as years in clinical practice, and a list of 29 non-musculoskeletal conditions. Clinicians were asked to indicate their opinions on each condition on rating scale ranging from strongly agree to strongly disagree.
Twenty of 22 clinicians responded. The conditions garnering the greatest positive ratings include: asthma, constipation, chronic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, infantile colic, and vertigo. The options regarding vertigo and asthma, while demonstrating an overall positive attitude towards the benefits of chiropractic care, were stratified amongst clinicians with varying years in clinical practice.
This study suggests clinicians at this college are moderately open towards the chiropractic treatment of some non-musculoskeletal disorders.
本研究的目的是确定加拿大纪念脊椎按摩疗法学院2009 - 2010学年临床教师对各种非肌肉骨骼疾病治疗的态度。
通过电子邮件向临床教师发放了一份保密调查问卷。问卷包含几个询问受访者人口统计学信息（如临床实践年限）的问题，以及一份包含29种非肌肉骨骼疾病的清单。要求临床医生根据从强烈同意到强烈不同意的评分量表，表明他们对每种疾病的看法。
22名临床医生中有20人回复。获得最高正面评分的疾病包括：哮喘、便秘、慢性盆腔疼痛、痛经、婴儿腹绞痛和眩晕。关于眩晕和哮喘的选项，虽然总体上对脊椎按摩疗法的益处持积极态度，但在不同临床实践年限的临床医生中存在分层。
本研究表明，该学院的临床医生对某些非肌肉骨骼疾病的脊椎按摩疗法持适度开放态度。
