I count on chiropractic sessions to keep my body aligned. Standing for hours can impact my posture, and that can throw the rest of my body out of whack. Acupuncture helps me relax and release stress. I'm also very into massage to help release tension in my back, neck, and shoulders.

WHAT DOES CHIROPRACTIC MEAN IN ENGLISH?

chiropractic

Chiropractic

Chiropractic is a form of alternative medicine[1] that emphasizes diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine, under the belief that these disorders affect general health via the nervous system.[2] Many chiropractors reject being characterized as complementary and alternative medicine.[3] It is a healthcare profession,[4] and although chiropractors have many similarities to primary care providers, they are more similar to a medical specialty like dentistry or podiatry.[5] The main chiropractic treatment technique involves manual therapy, especially manipulation of the spine, other joints, and soft tissues; treatment may also include exercises and health and lifestyle counseling.[6] Traditional chiropractic assumes that a vertebral subluxation or spinal joint dysfunction interferes with the body's function and its innate intelligence.[7] A large number of chiropractors want to separate themselves from the traditional vitalistic concept of innate intelligence.[8] Many studies of treatments used by chiropractors have been conducted, with conflicting results.

Definition of chiropractic in the English dictionary

The definition of chiropractic in the dictionary is a system of treating bodily disorders by manipulation of the spine and other parts, based on the belief that the cause is the abnormal functioning of a nerve.
