Chiropractic Treatment

Chiropractic is a type of complementary medicine with various definitions in different articles and other scientific resources. According to the World Health Organization’s (WHO) definition, chiropractic is “a health care profession concerned with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disorders of the neuromusculoskeletal system, and the effects of these disorders on general health”. Chiropractic treatment procedures emphasize the manual techniques, including joint adjustment and/or manipulation, with a specific focus on subluxation.

The basis of the chiropractic approach to restoration and protection of health is the relationship between structure, specifically the spine and musculoskeletal system, and function, particularly as coordinated by the nervous system. In other words, based on the chiropractic approach, the body is regarded as a neuromusculoskeletal system in which disorder in one part of the system disturbs the other parts. Therefore, disorders in the body structure are removed so that stresses on the body’s nervous system can be alleviated and the general health of the body can be restored.

Chiropractic was founded by Daniel David Palmer in the United States of America (USA), in 1895, and it gradually attracted its proponents among doctors and other healers. Nowadays, chiropractic is taught in at least 40 universities and colleges, in 16 different countries. Moreover, most of these are located in the USA as it is the birthplace of chiropractic. Chiropractic is practiced worldwide and is regulated by law in 40 countries such as the USA, Australia, Germany, France, Brazil, Japan, England, and Denmark. Moreover, at least 17 journals with the exact name ‘chiropractic’ publish chiropractic related articles worldwide.
