Chiropractic

Chiropractic is defined as "The science of chiropractic deals with the relationship between the articulations of the skeleton and the nervous system, and the role of this relationship in the restoration and maintenance of health." One of Dr. Palmer's patients, a minister, is credited with attaching the name "Chiropractic" to the art and science of manipulation. He took the Greek words for "hand" (cheiros) and "done by" (pracktos) and put them together to spell Chiropractic, meaning "done by the hand." There isn't a profession out there that is more misunderstood than Chiropractic. In fact, most people, when asked, think a Chiropractor is a "back doctor". While this is true in part, there's a whole lot more to this profession than that. We'll guide you through a detailed explanation of every component of this rapidly expanding art and science.
