Chiropractic

A natural form of health care that restores proper function to the nervous system, helping your body to heal and optimizing your adaptability and responsiveness to its ever-changing environment.

Chiropractic is a distinct health care system. It is not part of orthodox medicine. Chiropractic is a discipline of the scientific healing arts concerned with the pathogenesis, diagnostics, therapeuics and prophylaxis of functional disturbances, pathomechanical states, pain syndromes and neurophysiological effects related to the statics and dynamics of the locomotor system, especially of the spine and pelvis.

To reach a proper diagnosis of a condition, chiropractors apply their knowledge in chiropractic diagnosis, motion palpation, human biomechanics and kinesiology together with diagnostic imaging and laboratory examinations. Proper clinical diagnosis is stressed to distinguish the conditions between those that can be treated by the registered chiropractor and those that cannot. The registered chiropractor should refer any condition that needs alternate care to the appropriate health practitioner.

Chiropractic has been viewed as a mechanistic approach to health largely reputed as an effective treatment to musculoskeletal pain.  Often dismissed, however, are the benefits derived from the impact of chiropractic care on our nervous system which acts as a communication network among all our bodily functions. Optimizing the nervous system, therefore, enhances neuro-immuno-endocrine modulation, restores physiological function and achieves well-being.

Patient care is conducted with due regard for environmental, nutritional and psychotherapeutic factors, as well as first aid, hygiene, sanitation, rehabilitation and physiological therapeutic procedures designed to assist in the restoration and maintenance of neurological integrity and homeostatic balance.
