WHAT IS CHIROPRACTIC?

It is really quite simple. The word chiropractic has Greek origins. It means HAND PRACTICE. Chiropractors believe in the importance of the balance of the nervous system with the musculoskeletal system. It is a proven fact that misalignments in the spine can cause issues with the nervous system.

Typically this issues will cause pain. Chiropractic is a primary system of health care that evaluates, diagnoses and treats these spinal conditions. Chiropractic is the world’s largest drugless healing profession. Chiropractors have some of the most stringent educational requirements of any healing profession.

Chiropractic educational programs require a minimum of 4,200 hours in basic science and health science. Additionally, a chiropractor must complete a clinical internship at an approved chiropractic facility. Chiropractors are licensed in every state. Many foreign countries also have licensure requirements for chiropractors.

Because of the success that chiropractic has achieved, every professional sports team, Olympic team and major college team has a team chiropractor.

Nearly 80% of people injured in an automobile accident in Florida seek chiropractic care.

There are over 77,000 chiropractors in the United States.

Over 27 million people seek chiropractic care each year.
