My sister's a chiropractor, and she recommended I read this. I know nothing about the field, and this book worked well as an introduction both to chiropractics as a whole and the author's own research. The text is easy to follow - it's clearly aimed at the layperson, with simple illustrations and explanations of terms.

I have to admit I found the introductory section a little off-putting (it verges on self-congratulatory) but once Haavik gets to the science I became a lot more interested. To her credit, there's a heavy emphasis on research for such a short book, and each claim is backed up with references to peer-reviewed literature which gets thumbs-up from me. Granted, I'm not qualified to assess the research myself, but I appreciate the effort and Haavik discusses some interesting ideas and some very interesting studies.
