Historical differences account for the names. Both professions use soft tissue techniques as well as specific vertebral adjustment. The same Universities graduate both disciplines. In fact in some Universities medical, chiropractic and osteopathic students all attend the same Basic Science classes. Our Clinic has Registered X-ray equipment.
Chiropractors use the spine to access the nervous system.
The nervous system controls and coordinates all other systems of the body. The first Chiropractic adjustment was given to a patient who was deaf. His hearing was restored. It was resolved. Chiropractic care began as a form of practice for just about any condition a patient suffered.
