| | Chiropractic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | All chiropractic approaches are based on non-invasive, non-medication approaches, with many based on the use of manipulation as a treatment for mechanical musculoskeletal dysfunction of the spine and extremities. | | | Chiropractic was founded in 1895 by Daniel David Palmer, and was based on the belief that all health problems could be prevented and treated using "adjustments" of the spine, and sometimes other joints, to correct what he termed "subluxations". | | | Both chiropractic and mainstream medicine hold that much of the body is controlled by nerve impulses sent to and from the brain along the spinal cord. |

| | Chiropractic and Its Use in Treating Low-Back Pain [NCCAM Health Information] |
| | Doctors of chiropractic, who are also called chiropractors or chiropractic physicians, use a type of hands-on therapy called manipulation (or adjustment) as their core clinical procedure. | | | Chiropractic therapy is given with the goals of normalizing this relationship between structure and function and assisting the body as it heals. | | | Chiropractic ("kye-roh-PRAC-tic") is a form of health care that focuses on the relationship between the body's structure, primarily of the spine, and function. |

| | Chiropractic seeks to maximize the inherent recuperative powers of the human body and by acting to realign structural elements of the spine through the process of chiropractic adjustment, to remove blockages to proper function. | | | Chiropractic is very much in tune with the values and priorities of individuals who are seeking to take control of their own personal health and health care decisions. | | | Students attending our chiropractic school are firmly grounded in the biological and chiropractic sciences, become proficient in applied research methods and are committed to evidence-based practice. |

| | This group is not openly critical of chiropractic's shortcomings and has not agitated for outright repudiation of the "subluxation" theory. | | | Chiropractic students are taught a distorted view which portrays medical doctors as philosophically committed to the "allopathic" theory of Hippocrates by which they merely treat the symptoms (i e, "effects") of disease. | | | Chiropractic theory is nonscientific, and most chiropractors have not been taught to practice on the basis of the same body of knowledge about health and disease recognized by health scientists around the world. |
