Chiropractic is a complementary medical practice that treats

What is chiropractic
manipulation?
The word chiropractic
comes from the Greek words cheir (hands) and praxis (practice). As the name
suggests, it is a hands-on therapy.
Chiropractic manipulation is the application of pressure to
a person’s spine or other parts of their body by a qualified chiropractic
doctor, or chiropractor. This pressure allows a chiropractor to adjust and
correct alignment.
Chiropractic manipulation aims to reduce pain and improve
mechanical function, or the way a person moves.
The basis of
chiropractic manipulation
Modern chiropractic is based on a spinal care model. But
chiropractic manipulation has its roots in less scientific theories.
Historically, chiropractors believed that a misaligned
spinal column could cause disease. This was thought to happen via the central
nervous system and something called “innate knowledge”.
