Chiropractic is a complementary and alternative medicine

Chiropractic is a complementary and alternative medicine^[1] health care profession concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disorders of the neuromusculoskeletal system and the effects of these disorders on general health.^[2] Chiropractors emphasize manual and manipulative therapy for the treatment ofvertebral subluxations. Currently, chiropractors practice in over 100 countries in all regions of the world, however chiropractors are most prevalent in North America, Australiaand parts of Europe.^[2][3] Most people who seek chiropractic care do so for low back pain.^[4] Chiropractic was founded in 1895 by magnetic healer, D.D. Palmer, in Davenport, Iowa, United States. Chiropractic theory on spinal joint dysfunction and its putative role in non-musculoskeletal disease has been a source of controversy since its inception in 1895. The controversy is due in part to chiropractic’s vitalistic and metaphysical origins, and use of terminology that is not always amenable to scientific investigation.^[5] Far reaching claims and lack of scientific evidence supporting spinal dysfunction/subluxation as the sole cause of disease has led to a critical evaluation of a central tenet of chiropractic and the appropriateness of the profession’s role in treating a broad spectrum of disorders that are unrelated to the neuromusculoskeletal system.^[6] Although there is external and internal debate within the chiropractic profession regarding the clinical significance of joint dysfunction/subluxation,^[7] the manipulable lesion remains inextricably linked to the profession as basis for spinal manipulation.^[8] The scientific consensus is that chiropractic may be on a par with other manual therapies for some musculoskeletal conditions such as lower back pain, but that there is no credible evidence or mechanism for effects on other conditions, and some evidence of severe adverse effects from cervical vertebral manipulation.^[9] The ideas of innate intelligence and the chiropractic subluxation are regarded as pseudoscience.^[10]

Success Stories From One Of Our Wonderful Patients!

LOW THYROID  &  JOINT PAIN
When I first came to you for Nutrition Response Testing, you found that my thyroid was very low.  (I knew it had been diagnosed as low about 4 months before my first visit to you.)  I was also experiencing mild joint pain in my hands, feet, neck, and elbows, especially after waking, walking, or stretching.  In addition, my throat was always dry, with a tickle on one side that made me constantly cough and clear my throat.  There was always a lot of mucus, too.

It’s obvious that you clearly identified the source of these problems, and gave me answers in the form of a simple nutritional program that was customized precisely to my needs.  Within a few weeks, I noticed that my throat was no longer bothering me and I wasn’t constantly trying to clear mucus from my throat.  Then it hit me that there was no more joint pain in my fingers when I stretched them, or in my feet and ankles for the first 15 minutes after waking or walking on them.  And it is wonderful that my thyroid now tests medically in mid-range!

I am very pleased with my progress, and hope to continue improving.
Thank you so much for helping me!

Osteoarthritus Treatment At Thropay Chriopractic

OSTEOARTHRITUS
As you know, my situation health wise was not at all good when I first came to you.  It seemed that I could never get well and feel good.  I had constant cold symptoms. I was always tired and lacking energy, and couldn’t sleep well at night.  My blood pressure would go up and down, I was overweight, and I had been diagnosed with osteoarthritis. Also, my heart often palpitated quickly and that was scary.

Besides all those symptoms, I came in with very painful sciatica.  Frequently, too, my ring finger would lock up.  Since I’m a church organist, this was most awkward, to say the least.

But now – I feel so much better!  No sickness or cold symptoms.  I’m sleeping well and have more energy.  The latest blood work shows no sign of osteoarthritis now. I stopped eating sugar and soy, and have lost about 30 pounds.  My heart palpitations are a thing of the past, unless I transgress on my diet.  Sciatica is gone, and my fingers don’t lock up anymore…
