What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is the third largest primary health care profession in the world (a primary health care professional being one who carries out both diagnosis and treatment) after medicine and dentistry.
Chiropractic is a natural and conservative form of health care, offering an alternative to medication and surgery. Accordingly it makes no use of drugs or surgery and has no aspirations to do so. Apart from high levels of general diagnostic skills, chiropractors are also trained how to take and anaylize X-rays, when appropriate for use in establishing a diagnosis.
Chiropractic is the science, philosophy, and art based on the understanding that health depends upon a normally functioning nervous system, especially the spine and nerves extending from the spine to the body. It focuses on correcting the causes of physical problems, rather than just treating the symptoms of those problems.
A Doctor of Chiropractic is a highly educated neuro-musculo-skeletal (nerve-muscle-skeleton) professional trained to relieve pain and restore health to the body.
