The VSC Model and the Philosophy of Chiropractic  [October 2000, Vol 4, No. 1]

ABSTRACTSubscriber Full Article | Site License

The vertebral subluxation complex (VSC) model includes general categories that can be related to the philosophy of chiropractic. The primary component of the VSC that can be included in the classical philosophy of chiropractic is the neuropathological component and its relationship to the overall function of the body. The mechanisms of the interference of the nerve system due to vertebral subluxation are explained and investigated in the VSC model. The model further categorizes many other effects of the vertebral subluxation. The implication of the model is that the effects of subluxation can be known and related to a significant degree to the life sciences. The model attempts to provide a pathophysiological derivation of most of the known pathological changes present with a subluxation. The unknown, subclinical, unmeasurable changes from subluxation are not significantly addressed in the model. It is presumed that there needs to be significant scientific evidence supporting a particular effect (or category of the model) for the effect to rise to the level of importance as to be included in the VSC model.
