Chiropractic treatment

Chiropractic is a healthcare discipline that emphasizes the diagnosis and treatment of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine, and disorders which affect general health via the nervous system.

Many people are unaware that chiropractic care can be used to treat a wide variety of physical issues, such as migraines and headaches, concussion, chronic pain due to injury, illness or strain, and much more.

The word “chiropractic” is derived from the Greek words “cheri” (hand) and “praktos” (done) combined to mean “done by hand.” It was chosen as a name by the developer of chiropractic, Daniel David Palmer. In 1895, D.D. Palmer performed a chiropractic adjustment on a partially deaf janitor, Harvey Lollards, who later reported that his hearing had improved due to the treatment.

Chiropractic doctors go through a minimum of four years of schooling at a chiropractic college, which is generally preceded by an undergraduate degree in the basic sciences or years of experience in a prior relevant healthcare field.

Students of chiropractic care must spend a minimum of at least 4,200 hours with their teachers, and a minimum of 1,000 hours of fully supervised clinical training with qualified instructors, as they learn the appropriate diagnosis and treatment techniques to help heal your body and restore it to its natural, fully functioning state.
