What is Chiropractic? A Natural, non-invasive approach to health care Chiropractic is a branch of the healing arts which is concerned with the structural health of the human body. Chiropractors place particular emphasis on the nervous system and its relationship to proper function. Doctors of chiropractic are health care providers who consider man as an integrated being giving particular attention to spinal biomechanics while recognizing the body's natural recuperative powers. Chiropractic is a form of natural health care that focuses on treating patients without the use of drugs or surgery. Doctors of chiropractic are primary health care providers licensed in all 50 states and are recognized by governmental health care programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, Workers' Compensation programs along with most major health insurance plans. Every year, more than 30 million Americans see chiropractors as part of their regular health care program and with over 84,000 licensed chiropractors nationwide and more than 10,000 students currently enrolled in chiropractic school, it is the fastest growing health care profession. Chiropractors frequently treat individuals with problems such as headaches, joint pain, neck pain, low back pain and sciatica. Chiropractors also treat patients with osteoarthritis, spinal disc conditions, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, along with sprains and strains. However, the scope of conditions that chiropractors manage or provide care for is not limited to the common pains and problems listed above. Chiropractors also have the training to treat a variety of conditions such as allergies, asthma, digestive disorders, and other conditions as new research is developed. |
