Qualitative changes on a literary review dissertation were research protocol is done and approved and dissertation need to be rewritten in another format se below

1. Introduction – use dissertation Introduction to outline the importance of understanding the history of chiropractic even in modern day practice. It should show why the research that is being done is important in helping to inform the decisions practitioners make about the future directions of chiropractic. Present the facts that chiropractic has moved from the original vitalistic philosophical stance to a more biomedical/biomechanical standpoint. I can include the Walker paper “The New Chiropractic”. This paper does attempt to lay out a trajectory for chiropractic into the future.

2. Methodology – this is the “technical bit and can be structure exactly as in an example dissertation I have to send tto the prospective writer. It covers:

· Aims & objectives of the work.

· Study design (with a justification).

· Study population – i.e. the searching and selection of sources, inclusion/exclusion criteria, etc.

· Study process – how one does the searching and the phases of selecting the right sources (using the PRISMA flowchart).

· Data analysis – how one analyses the sources one selects, i.e. the critical appraisal mechanism and using the CASP checklists etc. to understand the validity and reliability fo the papers the writer is reviewing.

· Ethical considerations – although there are no ethical issues involved, the writer has to show the examiners that he/she understands Research Ethics and how that applies to narrative reviews.

3. Discussion - Now this is where the structure changes a bit, as this a combination of my original Results and Discussion. Here the writer will show how the papers that has been read and appraised indicate how chiropractic has changed but how the early principles of chiropractic are aligned to the modern-day scientific principles, i.e. that vitalism & biomedical approaches are not that far apart and the vitalistic explanations can be explained by our current biological and medical knowledge. Highlight the parallel considerations of both approaches and how they can be explained together. Perhaps chiropractic can be one happy family as vitalists and biomedicalists CAN and SHOULD work together for the benefit of the patients you serve. I can attach a further paper by Charlotte LeBoeuf-Ede that debates the questions of “one chiropractic family” that the writer might find useful.

4. Conclusions – draw your review into a short summary of “take-home” messages, particularly around the fact that vitalism is the very DNA of chiropractic and cannot be consigned to
