- Chiropractic views of chiropractic vs orthodox medicine. A comparison of terms from a historical chiropractic point of view. These are examples of terminology and concepts, which emphasized that chiropractic was different from medicine and to establish chiropractic as a separate and distinct healing profession, which was often used during legal battles. To protect themselves during legal attacks from organized medicine and osteopathy, chiropractors and their lawyers highlighted the unique chiropractic vocabulary, and their distinct science, philosophy, and practices. This strategy was often successful to win the case in favor of the chiropractor.
