What is Chiropractic? Chiropractic is a form of natural health care that focuses on helping a patient without the use of drugs or medicines. Chiropractic concerns itself with the relationship between the structure (primarily the spine) and the function (primarily coordinated by the nervous system) of the human body. The vertebrae, which protect the nervous system, when misaligned or lose its normal motion, causes malfunction of the tissues and organs throughout the body. The misalignment is referred to as a SUBLUXATION. The Doctor of Chiropractic is a highly trained health care provider who utilizes specific scientific techniques and procedures to detect, analyze, and correct the vertebral subluxation. Once it is diagnosed, the chiropractor performs specific vertebral adjustments to reduce the subluxation and return the vertebrae to a more normal juxtaposition. This process removes neurological distress allowing the body to return to a balanced state of physiological functioning. Doctors of Chiropractic, more commonly known as chiropractors, are primary health care providers licensed in all 50 states. Chiropractors are recognized by governmental health care programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, Workers' Compensation programs and more. Every year, more than 30 million Americans see chiropractors as part of the regular health care programs. There are over 84,000 licensed chiropractors nationwide and more than 10,000 students currently enrolled in chiropractic school making chiropractic the fastest growing health care profession in the world.
