Chiropractors
Chiropractors
are practitioners of chiropractic. Chiropractic defined as a
system of diagnosis and treatment that is based upon the
concept that the nervous system coordinates all of the
body's functions and holds that disease results from a lack
of normal nerve function and employs manipulation and
specific adjustment of body structures such as the spinal
column so that pressure on nerves coming from the spinal
cord due to displacement (subluxation) of a vertebral body
may, it is believed, cause problems not only in the back but
some distance from it as in the leg. Chiropractors therefore
work to manipulate the spine with their hands to realign the
vertebrae and relieve the pressure on the nerves.
Chiropractic treatment is believed effective for muscle
spasms of the back and neck, tension headaches, and some
sorts of leg pain. |
