Chiropractic and medical models of health care are perceived as philosophically incompatible by chiropractic practitioners and spokesmen for the medical profession. This alleged incompatibility is used to rationalize the resistance of the medical profession to the functional integration of chiropractic into the orthodox referral system. Structural integration of chiropractic into the orthodox health care system which is unaccompanied by functional integration fails to confer upon patients the benefits of that system. It is therefore in the interests of patient care that the alleged philosophical differences be examined and, if possible, resolved. Examination of the chiropractic and relevant medical models of health care in the contemporary context of the health disease continuum sheds new light on traditional philosophical conflicts.
整脊疗法从业者和医学专业的发言人认为，整脊疗法和医学保健模式在理念上不相容。这种所谓的不相容被用来合理化医学专业对将整脊疗法功能整合到正统转诊系统的抵制。将整脊疗法结构整合到正统医疗保健系统中而不伴随功能整合，无法让患者受益于该系统。因此，审视并尽可能解决这种所谓的理念差异符合患者护理的利益。在健康与疾病连续统一体的当代背景下审视整脊疗法和相关医学保健模式，为传统的理念冲突带来了新的启示。
