Chiropractic is a health
profession specialising in the diagnosis,
treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders
of the musculoskeletal system and the affects of
these disorders on the function of the nervous
system and general health.
Chiropractic practitioners essentially rely upon
non-invasive treatment methods and will refer
patients to medical practitioners should
medication or surgery be indicated. This
approach is further reinforced by chiropractors
in their promotion of healthy lifestyles such as
the avoidance of smoking and excess stress,
proper diet and exercise.
