What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is the third largest health care profession in North America, after medicine and dentistry. It is the #1 profession in the world dedicated to the well-being of humankind. While they are best known for their treatment of back pain, neck pain, and headaches, Doctors of Chiropractic, or chiropractors, treat a wide range of ailments by analyzing and adjusting misalignments of the spinal column.
Research proves it works
The Manga Report, an extensive independent report commissioned by the Ministry of Health (Ontario) in 1993, clearly showed the superiority of chiropractic care over all other forms of health care for low back pain, and recommended a shift in health care policy to encourage preferential use of chiropractic services for most patients with low back pain.
High satisfaction rate
The Manga Report also reported that in comparable patient groups, patients were far more satisfied with chiropractic care than medical care. A 1992 study further determined that patients generally considered chiropractors to be more attentive and caring, more accessible, convenient and available, much less reliant on drug therapy, and less likely to create new problems or make existing problems worse.Is Chiropractic safe?
