Why choose chiropractic treatments over medical visits?
Physicians are in the business of medicine. While they evaluate your pain or injury, they frequently
recommend rest or a prescription to manage the pain, sometimes they don’t take the time to look
for the underlying problem and when and if they do, it is off to another specialist to evaluate and
often treat the pain. The practice of chiropractics is considered among the first, recognized and
regulated complementary and alternative medicine in the United States. Founded in the late 1890’s,
chiropractics is a health care profession concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of
disorders of the neuromusculoskelatal system and the effects of these disorders on general health. The
main chiropractic treatment involves manual therapy, including manipulation of the spine, joints and
soft tissues in combination with exercises and health and lifestyle counseling. With more and more
of the general population looking for alternatives to drugs, the practice of chiropractics has grown
tremendously in recent years and has gained greater acceptance among medical physicians and health
plans.
