ABOUT CHIROPRACTIC

What is Chiropractic?

International Association of Chiropractic

Overview

Chiropractic focuses on the relationship between the body’s main structures – the skeleton, the muscles and the nerves – and the patient’s health. Chiropractors believe that health can be improved and preserved by making adjustments to these structures, particularly to the spinal column. Of primary concern to chiropractic are abnormalities of structure or function of the vertebral column known clinically as the vertebral subluxation complex. The subluxation complex includes any alteration of the biomechanical and physiological dynamics of contiguous spinal structures which can cause neuronal disturbances.

A Brief History

Doctors of chiropractic are licensed in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. A large percentage of doctors open their own offices. Today doctors of chiropractic work as independent clinicians, work in hospitals, with the active duty military, veterans, and integrated clinic environments. As we move into more interprofessional training and education settings, the opportunities to provide conservative and natural care to patients is a choice that many are seeking.

Helping Patients

Most patients seek chiropractic care for back pain, neck pain and joint problems. However, many patients choose a chiropractor as their primary care doctor, because they prefer treatment plans that do not rely on medication or surgery.

CONNECTIONS
