| Chiropractic is a health care discipline which
emphasizes the inherent recuperative powers of the body to heal
itself without the use of drugs or surgery . The
practice of chiropractic focuses on the relationship between stucture
(primarly the spine) and function (as coordinated by the nervous
system) and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration
of health. Of primary concern to the doctor of chiropractic are
abnormalities of structure or function of the vertebral column known
clinically as the vertebral subluxation complex. The subluxation
complex includes any alteration of the biomechanical and physiological
dynamics of contiguous spinal structures which can cause neuronal
disturbances. |
