What is Chiropractic?
Today, Chiropractors are among the world’s most highly trained and skilled specialists in manipulative therapy.
Chiropractic is a regulated profession that specialises in the diagnoses, treatment and prevention of biomechanical disorders of spinal joints and muscle which negatively affect our nervous system.
Spinal dysfunction and misalignment can cause many pain syndromes and contribute to other health problems such as low back pain, numbness of hands and feet, headache and even sleepless. This is generally because of consequence of compression, inflammation and irritation to spinal joints, muscle and nerve.
These Spinal dysfunction and misalignment can be brought on by poor posture, trauma, emotional stress and chemical stress including the toxins we take into our body in the form of processed foods, alcohol, cigarettes and so on.
Chiropractic can help relieve pain, dysfunction and discomfort from the spine and many other parts of the body. Therefore, chiropractic can also be used as part of a health care programme to maintain spine, muscle and nerve integrity, to promote optimum health and well-being.
Chiropractic uses the procedure of a specific adjustment and manipulation to the dysfunctional segmenet of the spine in order to remove compression and irritation from spinal joints and nerves that reduce pain and other health problems.
Chiropractic also places an emphasis on nutritional and exercise programs, wellness and lifestyle modifications for promoting physical and mental health. While chiropractors make no use of drugs and surgery, we do refer patients to medical doctors when those interventions are needed. In fact, today, doctor of chiropractic, medical doctor, physical therapists and other health care professionals work as a team in the field of occupational health, pediatrics, sports medicine, and a wide variety of other rehabilitation practices.
'' The doctor of the future will give little medicine,
but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease."
