Chiropractic
Chiropractic (from Greek: cheira and praktikos (meaning "done by hand")) is a health care profession whose purpose is to diagnose and treat mechanical disorders of the spine and musculoskeletal system with the intention of affecting the nervous system and improving health. It is based on the premise that a spinal joint dysfunction can interfere with the nervous system and result in many different conditions of diminished health. While some chiropractors use the term vertebral subluxation
to describe what they treat, others have dropped this concept and
concentrate mostly on the musculoskeletal components of spinal injury
and rehabilitation of the spine. In contrast, the term subluxation
as used in conventional medicine is usually associated with specific
conditions which are a direct consequence of injury to joints or
associated nerves.
Chiropractic was founded in 1895 by D. D. Palmer, and it is now practiced in more than 100 countries.
The history of Chiropractic has been shaped by philosophical conflicts
within the profession and by criticism from outside the profession.
Eventually, these led to scientific reform within many of the schools
of chiropractic, and an antitrust suit against the AMA.
Chiropractic treatments vary depending on the patient's condition
and the type of approach taken by the particular chiropractor. They
commonly include spinal adjustments, although other interventions may
be used as well.
Today there are four main groups of chiropractors: "traditional
straights", "objective straights", "mixers", and "reform". All groups,
except reform, treat patients using a subluxation-based system.
Differences are based on the philosophy for adjusting, claims made
about the effects of those adjustments, and various additional
treatments provided along with the adjustment.

Nerve impingement and obstruction was described as being caused by subluxations -- that is, subtle displacements of vertebrae in the neck and back. It is important to note that while spinal manipulation ("adjustments") have been an important clinical tool for chiropractic physicians, Doctors of Chiropractic are physicians who consider man as an integrated being and give special attention to the physiological and biochemical aspects including structural, spinal, musculoskeletal, neurological, vascular, nutritional, emotional and environmental relationships.

Our bodies have an inborn intelligence that is called innate intelligence. This intelligence runs, regulates, heals and grows the body to our fullest potential, allowing us to reach our god-given purpose in life. There are many things you must have to accept in understanding the full breadth of chiropractic: either we are on this earth from the grace of a higher consciousness, or we are simply the random assimilation of organic substance that has evolved over many years making us nothing more than a higher order of mud.

Many people have a misconception about chiropractic and the critical role it plays in health and well-being. That misconception is that chiropractic care is limited to treating back and neck pain. Although many people have experienced relief from back and neck pain through chiropractic services, the foundation, intent, and vision of chiropractic is far beyond simply helping to reduce symptoms.
