What’s Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a health profession concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of musculoskeletal disorders, and the effects of these disorders on the nervous system and general health. There is an emphasis on joints adjustment and manipulation with a particular focus on subluxations or joint misalignments of the spine and other joints. The international chiropractic organization, the WFC (World Federation of Chiropractic) has official relations with the WHO (World Health Organization) as an NGO.
Indications
The spine protects the spinal cord and nerve roots that connect to muscles bones and the body organs because the spinal cord carries all important messages from the brain to different parts of your body. Therefore chiropractors primarily identify biomechanical and structural spinal dysfunction which can affect the nervous system to restore the integrity of the spine.
