"The analysis of clinical outcomes has not been widely embraced by our profession. And this was a source of frustration for me even as a student at Palmer. It's the primary reason why I was attracted to Dr. Pettibon and The Pettibon System.
Dr. Pettibon has always sought out research to both challenge and support his work. Research that uses a systematic, controlled, objective, and reliable process to gain solutions to problems and/or discover new facts and relationships. With that as the criteria, The Pettibon System represents evidence-based expertise from fellow chiropractors, orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, neurosurgeons, cardiologists, physiatrists, bio-medical engineers, nutritionists, physical therapists, and even those outside the health care profession such as physicists and chemists. And most of all, The Pettibon System represents Dr. Pettibon's relentless pursuit of 'the truth' and 'proof'!
I want to use the best treatment guidelines with my patients. To me, 'best' means they are evidence-based and continuously updated. As Director of Research for The Pettibon Institute, I am dedicated to contributing to that result. And committed to making sure that we are open to all knowledge and ideas that advance spine and posture rehabilitation."
