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 invasive 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.
