The Practice of Chiropractic
The practice of
chiropractic involves the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of
disorders in the neuro-musculo-skeletal system, particularly conditions
involving the spinal column. The term is derived from two Greek
words meaning "treatment by hand or manipulation."
A chiropractor takes
a case history and assesses by posture and movement analysis, palpation
(feeling), orthopaedic and neurological examination. If indicated,
x-rays may be taken or you may be referred to your general practitioner
for further testing.
Chiropractic treatment relieves pain by aiming to restore normal
mobility of joints and reduce muscle spasm. All organs and cells
require nerve information to function correctly, and much nerve
information is passed through the spinal cord, which is protected within
the spinal column. Restoring proper function of the spinal column is
therefore of great importance and may have a widespread effect.
