CHIROPRACTIC
Chiropractors treat many conditions as they relate to
the spine: headaches, numbness, back, shoulder, neck,
chest, rib, arm and leg pain, abnormal curvature of the
spine, muscle spasms, dizziness and even some stress,
asthma, and allergy disorders among others.
Chiropractors adjust or manipulate misaligned vertebrae
(the bones of your spinal column) to restore correct
functioning of your nervous system.
More About
Chiropractic
Chiropractic is an alternative health care profession
that works to diagnose and treat mechanical disorders of
the spine and musculoskeletal system. The primary
objective of chiropractic care is to positively
influence the nervous system and improve health.
It is based on the premise that a spinal joint
misalignment, which chiropractors call a vertebral
subluxation, can interfere with the nervous system and
result in many different conditions of diminished
health. Treatments typically include spinal adjustments
to correct the vertebral subluxation, though some may
use other holistic interventions as well. 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.
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. |
