Abstract/Notes The concept of the subluxation is simultaneously chiropractic’s central defining clinical principle and the source of contentious debate and disagreement within the profession. As chiropractic has evolved during its 100-year history, one faction of the profession has distanced itself from the original subluxation theory as formulated by D.D. Palmer. Even in the absence of any specific refutation of the theory, many in chiropractic find the simplistic bone-out-of-place (BOOP) Palermian subluxation formulation as being an implausible explanation for human disease or even for simple back pain. For the most part, clinical studies on the effectiveness of spinal manipulation are conducted and reported without reference to the presence or absence or even the existence of subluxations. In the main, the faction within the profession has concluded that subluxations as Palmer imagined them simply do not exist.
