CHIROPRACTIC:
Founded by D.D. Palmer in 1890, chiropractic comes from the greek words “chiro," meaning "hand," and “praktikos," meaning "concerned with action.” It uses the manipulation of the spine and other joints as the main form of treatment. Although the chiropractic industry has had a long and checkered relationship with the American Medical Association, it has proven itself to be both an effective means of treatment and a necessity to millions of patients.
