How Does Chiropractic Treatment Differ From Other Forms Of Health Care?
Whereas medical doctors make a diagnosis after classifying and naming the effects of a physical dysfunction, a chiropractor does not diagnose by assessing the symptoms. Instead, a chiropractor will analyzed the structural condition of the patient’s body and then decide how to correct it. Chiropractors are concerned with any physiological problem attributed to the Vertebral Subluxation Complex (misaligned vertebrae causing interference with the normal function and transmission of nerve energy). This complex affects spinal, nerve, muscle and other soft tissue function. In short, the chiropractor treats the cause of the problem, not just the symptoms.
