What is Chiropractic Care?
Founded in 1895 by D.D. Palmer, chiropractic care manipulates the body to produce drugless improvement of the spine and ultimately the whole body. Through the use of spinal manipulation on joint dysfunction/subluxation chiropractic care helps improve overall health. Many people today consider chiropractic care to be a complimentary therapy, but with regular adjustments it can be seen as an alternative treatment for many ailments. Chiropractic care is becoming more and more accepted in the United States as highly beneficial on many levels. Since its formal foundation in 1895, the chiropractic profession has grown into the second largest of the primary health care professions. In the United States, chiropractic is now included in major insurance and Federal Programs, such as Medicare.
Chiropractic champions a natural method of healing, advocating a non-surgical, non-invasive, and drugless approach to the treatment of patients. Grounded in a view of the individual as an integrated being, The Doctor of Chiropractic focuses on spinal health and wellness as the key to overall health and well being.
Because of the interrelatedness of the body's various systems, chiropractic theory holds that spinal mechanics -including the vertebrae, corresponding nerves and soft tissues - play a primary role in the health of the whole body. Structural or mechanical abnormalities in the spine, which cause pain, dysfunction, and loss of mobility to thousands of Americans a year, can be successfully treated.
