Licensed Chiropractors
A Chiropractor, or Doctor of chiropractic medicine, is a licensed medical professional who specializes in diagnosing and treating disorders of the musculoskeletal and nervous system, especially in the spine.
A chiropractor is a doctor of the medical field associated with the diagnosis and manipulative therapy of misaligned and dysfunctional joints. This physician is particularly trained to examine, treat, manage, and prevent ailments in the musculoskeletal system.
Chiropractic care works to bring healing to the body through the care of the body’s neuromuscular and musculoskeletal systems. Chiropractic adjustments work by helping to place your body in the proper position that then allows the body to heal itself. One of the key focuses of chiropractic care is realigning the spine and thereby reducing pressure placed on sensitive nerves, which can contribute to dysfunction of the central nervous system. A chiropractor is a health care professional focused on the diagnosis and treatment of neuromuscular disorders, with an emphasis on treatment through manual adjustment and/or manipulation of the spine. Most chiropractors seek to reduce pain and improve the functionality of patients as well as to educate them on how they can account for their own health via exercise, ergonomics and other therapies to treat back pain.
Chiropractic is generally categorized as alternative medicine or complementary medicine.
Chiropractors: Fundamental Beliefs and Goals
Chiropractors focus on the intimate relationship between the nervous system and spine, and hold true the following beliefs:
• Biomechanical and structural derangement of the spine can affect the nervous system
• For many conditions, chiropractic treatment can restore the structural integrity of the spine, reduce pressure on the sensitive neurological tissue, and consequently improve the health of the individual.
• Chiropractic is a health care profession dedicated to the non-surgical treatment of disorders of the nervous system and/or musculoskeletal system. Generally, chiropractors maintain a unique focus on spinal manipulation and treatment of surrounding structures.
• Many studies have concluded that manual therapies commonly used by chiropractors are generally effective for the treatment of lower back pain , as well as for treatment of lumbar herniated disc for radiculopathy3,4 and neck pain, among other conditions.
• When patients with non-specific chronic low back pain are treated by chiropractors, the long-term outcome is enhanced by obtaining maintenance spinal manipulation after the initial intensive manipulative therapy.
