International Research and Philosophy Symposium (IRAPS) 2023 Call for Abstracts

by Christopher Kent, D.C., A.C.P., J.D.

Spartanburg, SC (07/21/2022) — Sherman College of Chiropractic is now accepting abstracts for its 18th International Research and Philosophy Symposium (IRAPS), a peer-reviewed chiropractic conference that addresses vertebral subluxation research and the philosophy of chiropractic. To be considered for presentation at IRAPS 2023, abstracts must be submitted by September 30, 2022. IRAPS will be held in conjunction with the college's 50th anniversary Lyceum, May 4-6, 2023, on the Sherman College campus in Spartanburg, SC.

Topics for abstracts, both for platform and poster presentations, may include:

  • Case studies that focus on the location, analysis and correction of vertebral subluxation (LACVS)
  • Philosophy of chiropractic as a component of LACVS-type care
  • Scholarly pursuits that will advance chiropractic education, practice and the profession

The goal of IRAPS is to bring leaders in philosophy and research together, along with practitioners and educators who are centered on vertebral subluxation practice, to build a stronger academic community worldwide regarding the subluxation model of chiropractic. The program's intent is to foster a view that the chiropractic profession is centered on vertebral subluxation, based on vitalism, dedicated to research and developing a discipline of philosophy.

Continuing education credit will be available, and attendees may choose to attend the full Lyceum program, including IRAPS, or they may choose a one-day IRAPS-only package. IRAPS speakers will receive a 25% registration discount, and full details will be released after speakers have been selected. Registration for the conference is scheduled to open in September 2022.

Abstract details
Abstracts are to take the form of short papers having approximately 300 words. References are expected. Each submission undergoes a peer review process.
