Chiropractic is a primary healthcare profession dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment, and overall management of conditions arising from issues with the body's joints, ligaments, tendons, and nerves, particularly those of the spine.
Una pratica, mille Paesi
Chiropractic is among the most widely practiced natural treatment methods globally. In the US, it ranks as the third most popular healthcare profession in terms of the number of professionals. Instead of merely treating symptoms, it focuses on the root causes of physical problems.
Chiropractic embraces a holistic vision, considering each human being as an equilateral triangle:
the Health Triad.
Chemistry, mind, and structure: any imbalance in one area can impact the other two, compromising overall wellness. Therefore, a chiropractor’s mission is to identify the root cause behind the issues reported by the patient.
Through anamnesis and physical examinations, chiropractors can gather all the necessary information to assess the patient’s health status. This includes evaluating posture and joint mobility, as well as reviewing relevant medical reports from orthopedists, neurologists, and radiologists.
