Chiropractic is severely criticized by organized medicine for its lack of scientific proof and publications. The official stance is that the onus for demonstrating the scientific validity of chiropractic rests with the chiropractic profession rather than the health care system. It is therefore desirable that chiropractic practitioners gain a practical comprehension of research methodology during their undergraduate course. This paper theorizes on how the teaching of research methodology may be implemented so as to facilitate clinical chiropractic research. By linking research and diagnosis in the form of case studies it is suggested that a significant contribution to chiropractic clinical research publications can be made by field practitioners. Changes in the undergraduate chiropractic program and at the Phillip Institute of Technology are examined in the light of the above proposal.
整脊疗法因其缺乏科学依据和出版物而受到传统医学的严厉批评。官方立场是，证明整脊疗法科学有效性的责任在于整脊疗法行业，而非医疗保健系统。因此，整脊疗法从业者在本科课程中对研究方法有实际的理解是很有必要的。本文探讨了如何实施研究方法的教学，以促进整脊疗法临床研究。通过以案例研究的形式将研究与诊断联系起来，建议临床从业者可以为整脊疗法临床研究出版物做出重大贡献。根据上述提议，对本科整脊疗法课程以及菲利普理工学院的情况进行了审视。
