Chiropractic (Alternative Health)

Chiropractic returns the body to balance through adjustments of the spine and joints, normalizing joint motion, reducing nerve interference, relieving stress and restoring normal body function. Whenever there is a system containing many movable parts, a complex balance is necessary between those parts. Chiropractors influence the body's nervous system and natural defense mechanisms in order to alleviate pain and improve general health. Because of its effectiveness in treating back problems, headaches and other injuries and traumas, chiropractic has become the second largest primary health care field in the world.

Chiropractic (Chiropractic)

Comes from the Greek words, "chiro," meaning hand, and "practic," meaning practice, or treatment.

Chiropractic (Holistic)

the chiropractic system is based on the premise that the spine is literally the backbone of human health. Misalignments of the vertebrae caused by poor posture or trauma result in pressure on the spinal nerve roots, which may lead to diminished function and illness. The chiropractor seeks to analyze and correct these misalignments through spinal manipulation or adjustments.

Chiropractic (Holistic Health)

Chiropractic medicine is a therapy involving manipulations to correct misalignments of vertebrae in the spine or in other joints. If a joint is misaligned, nerve function can be affected, causing pain and other symptoms. Chiropractors detect these dislocations and correct them, freeing the nerve root from impingement. Having the nerve root properly exit from the spinal column is essential for the proper functioning of many bodily systems, including digestion, circulation and respiration, as well as for the glandular system and for motion in general. Chiropractors have been known to help alleviate back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain and knee pain as well as other complaints. Chiropractors are required to have four years of (post-bachelor) specialized medical training.

Chiropractic (Nutrition)

A system of healing based on the belief that many disorders result from misalignment (called subluxation) of the spinal vertebrae and other joints. Chiropractors primarily treat illnesses by using physical manipulation techniques to bring the body into proper alignment and thus restore normal health and functioning.

Chiropractic (Spa)

These treatments realign the spine to relieve backache and postural problems. Used to analyze and correct vertebral spinal nerve interferences and help maintain the body's natural alignment for optimal functioning.
