Chiropractic
What is Chiropractic?
From the Greek "doing by hand", chiropractic is a healthcare profession that holds that an individual's health is directly tied to the relationship of the spine and the nervous system. Doctors of chiropractic seek to pinpoint structural changes to the spine that may be causing a patient's back pain, neck pain or other symptoms, and aim to restore the spine's structural integrity through a series of different adjustments known as manipulations.
Chiropractors specifically treat subluxation, which refers to a vertebra that is out of position in comparison to the other vertebrae, thus resulting in subsequent dysfunction. In addition to chiropractic adjustments, chiropractors may utilize mobilization (massage), exercise, heat/cold therapy, light, ultrasound, and many other different methods to treat joint and muscle dysfunction.
Chiropractors undergo extensive study and training. All chiropractors in the UK are registered with the General Chiropractic Council, and since 2001 it has been a crime for anyone not registered with the GCC to call themselves a chiropractor.
