What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a branch of the healing arts which is based
upon the understanding that good health depends, in part,
upon a normally functioning nervous system. Especially the
spine, and the nerves extending from the spine to all parts
of the body.
"Chiropractic" comes from the Greek work "Chiropraktikes",
meaning "effective treatment by hand". Chiropractic
stresses the idea that the cause of many diseases processes
begins with the body's inability to adapt to it's environment.
It looks to address those diseases and pain, in general,
not by the use of drugs or surgery, but by locating and adjusting
a musculoskeletal area of the body which is functioning improperly.
The conditions which doctors of chiropractic address are as
varied and vast as the nervous system itself.
All chiropractors use a standard procedure of examination
to diagnose a patient's condition and arrive at a course of
treatment. Doctors of chiropractic use the same time-honored
methods of consultation, case history, physical examination,
and x-ray examination as any other doctor. In addition, they
provide a careful structural examination, paying particular
attention to the spine.
