"The World of Chiropractics" by Chamunda Swami Ji
In this day and age when popping an aspirin is a daily affair and going to doctors and undergoing operations is no big deal - an alternative and complimentary medical treatment is welcome! One such alternative treatment is of chiropractics. The word "chiropractic" literally means treatment done by hand or hands-on therapy. In this case it refers to manipulating or adjusting the spine. It is a form of alternative medicine which combines both conventional and alternative treatments to heal patients. Chiropractors adjust the spinal cord to rectify the structure. It is most affective in patients suffering from back and neck pain, headache and other spine problems. Once the alignment of the spine is fixed, chiropractors believe that the human body has the inherent ability to rectify itself. Broadly speaking it can be classified in three different treatment plans:
• Straight - it is based on the concept that misalignment is responsible for variety of health conditions and diseases that patients suffer from. A misaligned spine can cause pressure on a nerve which results in back pain, neck pain and headaches of various kinds. In this type of chiropractic, misalignments are set right and nerves are relived
• Mixer - it is a combination of treatments in addition to manipulating the spine. In mixer type, the person uses various diagnostic tools like ultra sound to detect trouble areas. Additional treatment includes acupressure, naturopathy, diet, etc.
• Reform - here, they give lot of importance to regular medicine and use minimal chiropractic method.
Benefits of this kind of alternative medicine are quite a lot:
• It is a non-invasive, drug-free and non-surgical treatment method
• Involves aligning of spinal cord and is based on the theory that any misaligned spine or disk causes pressure on nerves which in turn causes many diseases. So if the pressure is released, many diseases can be cured
• This science emphasizes the fact that ventral nervous system is responsible for our health in a major way. This science, thus, tries to detect problems in the nervous system and eradicate it by the roots
• Diagnosis and treatment is based on the fact that body has an inherent quality to heal itself. Each and every disease is diagnosed and eliminated by identification of root cause and not the symptoms
• Ability to act as a preventative measure also and not just a curative treatment
