Chiropractic (from Greek chiros and praktikos meaning "done by hand") is a health care
profession whose purpose is to diagnose and treat mechanical disorders of the spine and
musculoskeletal system with the intention of affecting the nervous system and improving
health. It is based on the premise that a spinal joint dysfunction can interfere with the
nervous system and result in many different conditions of diminished health. While some
chiropractors use the term vertebral subluxation to describe what they treat, others have
dropped this concept and concentrate mostly on the musculoskeletal components of spinal
injury and rehabilitation of the spine. 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 D. D. Palmer, and it is now practiced in more than 100
countries.
Chiropractic medicine is growing in popularity in the US not as a replacement for
traditional western medicines but instead to gravitate towards a more natural healing
process when appropriate. Natural medical alternatives such as Chiropractic therapies
treats the problem without masking it with pain killers and other prescription drugs which
can be habit forming.
