The Doctor of 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.
What is Chiropractic?
To quote the American Chiropractic Association, “chiropractic is a drug-free, non-surgical science and as such does not include pharmaceuticals or invasive surgery. An individual who is studying to become a doctor of chiropractic receives an education in both basic and clinical sciences, as well as in related health care subjects. The chiropractic curriculum provides in-depth training of the structure and function of the human body in health and disease. The educational training includes course work in the basic medical sciences, including anatomy of human dissection, physiology, pathology and biochemistry. Thorough training is also received in the areas of differential diagnosis, cardiology, gastroenterology, orthopedics, neurology, hematology, internal disorders, radiology, advanced imaging techniques and therapeutic approaches. This comprehensive education renders a doctor of chiropractic competent to both diagnose and treat patients. According to the Council of Chiropractic Education (CCE), chiropractic physicians are trained as primary care providers. Chiropractic physicians may choose to focus in specialty areas in practice along with providing primary care or in place of providing primary care.
