WHAT is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a complementary and alternative health care profession which diagnoses, treats, and prevents mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system which may effect the nervous system or general health. Chiropractic's premise is that spinal joint misalignments, which chiropractors call vertebral subluxations, can interfere with the nervous system and result in many different conditions of diminished health. Treatments typically include spinal adjustments as well as holistic interventions. In contrast, the term subluxation, as used in conventional medicine, is usually associated with specific conditions which are a direct consequence of injury to joints or associated nerves. Chiropractic was founded in 1895 by DD Palmer. It is now licensed in every state in America and practiced in more than 100 countries. Chiropractic's history includes conflicts within the profession and attacks from those outside the profession. There are four main groups of chiropractors: "traditional straights", "objective straights", "mixers", and "reform". All groups, except reform treat patients using a subluxation-based system. Differences are based on the philosophy for adjusting, claims made about the effects of those adjustments, and various additional treatments provided along with the adjustment. |
