I would tend to agree with Dr. Weed.  Leach’s book is required reading at Logan College of Chiropractic and gives sufficient detail to answer most questions. Bill Student Doctor, Logan College of Chiropractic

   In my opinion, for chiropractic it would definitely be Robert A. Leach’s THE CHIROPRACTIC THEORIES published by Williams & Wilkins. I have the second edition (1986).  The first edition came out around 1978 I believe. I have heard that the third edition was recently released. Call 800 information for the phone number of Williams & Wilkins. You can order it directly from them. I think it costs around $ 40. His book is used as a text in nearly all chiropractic colleges but it is also fairly understandable by lay people, especially those with some knowledge of physiology. It is also very well referenced.     Dr. Duane Weed, DC  <*>  E-Mail request for my FREE Herb

Response:

Could the osteopaths and chiropractors on the net tell me which textbooks they consider the most important in their field? Specifically, what would be a good overall textbook on the theory and technique, and what would be a good advanced textbook relating specific diseases to specific spinal vertabrae? I’d like to know title, author, publisher, edition, and copyright date (both for your edition, and the first edition, if different). If the book is in print, I’d like to know how much it costs and where to order it from.
