Abstract/Notes Excerpt: Isn’t it amazing, that for more than one hundred years, chiropractors have struggled and become divided over change? Each chiropractor is seeking an identity between an all encompassing concept, perpetuated by loyalty, and left to them by the founder in 1895 or the contemporary, comprehensive approach that is current with today’s values of acceptance. This one hundred year struggle is better understood by knowing that one of the major historical obstacles blocking change is that this profession is, and always has been, paralyzed with fear. This deep fear has alienated the profession from the mainstream of science and limited it’s role in health care programs.

Fear has divided individual chiropractors into a fear triad with groups adhering to identifiable labels of fighters, flighters or freezers. Struggling with change and the related fears can provoke an individual to dig in and hold or else quickly become adaptable and find suitable alternatives. The fear of change and challenge may best be seen in the following story that illustrates the chiropractic scenario well.
