What is Chiropractic? Chiropractic is a
branch of the healing arts which is concerned with human health and disease
processes. Doctors of Chiropractic are physicians who consider man as an
integrated being and give special attention to the physiological and
biochemical aspects including structural, spinal, musculoskeletal,
neurological, vascular, nutritional, emotional and environmental
relationships.
The practice and procedures which may be employed by Doctors of
Chiropractic are based on the academic and clinical training received in and
through accredited chiropractic colleges and include, but are not limited
to, the use of current diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Such
procedures specifically include the adjustment and manipulation of the
articulations and adjacent tissues of the human body, particularly of the
spinal column. Included is the treatment of intersegmental aberrations for
alleviation of related functional disorders.
Chiropractic is a drug-free, non-surgical science and, as such, does not
include pharmaceuticals or incisive surgery. Due regard shall be given to
the fact that state laws, as well as the nation's antitrust laws, may allow
Doctors of Chiropractic to utilize ancillary health care procedures commonly
referred to as being in the common domain
