What Is Chiropractic?

This info ahs been provided by your Vancouver chiropractor, Dr. Zavosh. Chiropractic is a branch of health care discipline firmly grounded in science. Although its main focus is the relationship between the skeleton (particularly the spine) and the nervous system that runs through it, Chiropractic is concerned with the health of the entire body. Chiropractors use various diagnostic methods, including X-rays and orthopedic tests to discover the state of your health, paying particular attention to your spine and joint structure. Spinal manipulative therapy (SMT), physical therapy, and other manual adjustments are their primary methods of helping your body to recover from its injured state.The word chiropractic comes from a combination of two Greek words "chiro" and "praktikis", meaning "done by hand". "Treatment by hand" was an accepted form of therapy in ancient Greece. Hippocrates, who are regarded as the founders of medical inquiry, made the first recorded references to spinal manipulation. 2005 marked the 110th anniversary of the evolution of modern Chiropractic. In recognition of this milestone, centennial celebrations were held across Canada and throughout the world. Canada Post issued a commemorative stamp in recognition of the centennial of the profession, and to honor its Canadian Founder, Dr. Daniel David Palmer.
