What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a well-established and well respected system of treatment and is
one of the major forms of manipulative therapy. It is a system of healing, based
on the idea that the human body has an innate self-healing ability and seeks
homeostasis, or balance. According to chiropractic theory, the nervous system
plays a significant role in maintaining homeostasis and, hence, health. Small
internal misalignments, interfere with proper functioning of the nervous system
and, in turn, interfere with the body's ability to maintain health.
In 1895 Daniel David Parker, a self-taught “magnetic healer”, treated a man who
had become deaf after feeling a “click” in his back. After discovering a
misalignment in the man’s spine, Parker realigned the vertebrae, leading to the
restoration of the man’s hearing.
Chiropractic methods seek to bring the body back into balance through
manipulation of the spine, joints and muscles in the belief that this allows the
nervous, muscular and skeletal systems to function smoothly. The Chiropractor
will carry out a thorough investigation through; a thorough physical
examination, questions about the client’s general health, possibly X-rays. This
gives the practitioner all the information that is needed to find out exactly
what is happening to the skeletal system.
