Chiropractic

While manipulation of the spine has been used as therapy for many centuries, the chiropractic profession, specializing in this technique, dates back only to 1895. Many chiropractors believe that spinal vertebra misalignments, called subluxations, interfere with the normal communication between the brain and body to cause physical, chemical, or mental and emotional imbalances. The chiropractic subluxation refers most often to a spinal joint that is causing problems in the spine or elsewhere in the body. Some chiropractors also address imbalances associated with other joints including the temporomandibular joint and those in the feet, knees, wrists, and others. Chiropractors have successfully treated patients with conditions ranging from back and neck pain to intestinal disorders and allergies. In the United States, chiropractors must receive a doctorate degree (Doctor of Chiropractic, or DC) through a rigorous education, nearly identical to that of medical or osteopathic school except that it does not include studies in surgery. Many chiropractors are also trained in other complementary disciplines, including diet and nutrition, applied kinesiology, and Chinese medicine, cranial-sacral technique, and others.

Over the past several decades, chiropractic sports medicine and rehabilitation have been emerging fields within complementary medicine. Many professional, collegiate, amateur, and Olympic teams, along with individual athletes, use chiropractic care as a major part of their sports programs.
