The word chiropractic is derived from Greek and means “ To Perform With The Hands”. Paintings from ancient Egypt and Greece have shown spinal manipulation was used thousand of years ago. However, it wasn't until 1895 when D D Palmer in the U.S established the science, art, and philosophy of Chiropractic.

Chiropractic is a health care discipline, which emphasizes the inherent recuperation power of the body to heal itself without drugs or surgery. The practice of chiropractic focuses on the relationship between the spine and nervous system and how the relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health.

Chiropractors treat Subluxations.  Subluxations are a misalignment of the spinal joints which cause irritation to the nervous system.  The nervous system controls and coordinates all functions on the body.  If there is irritation to that system, there will be irritation to certain organ functions resulting in symptoms like neck pain, headaches, high blood pressure, infertility, and so on.  Chiropractors do not treat those symptoms, they treat the subluxations.  No other profession is trained in the detection and correction of Subluxations.
