THE BASICS OFCHIROPRACTIC CARE

 

Chiropractic care was founded in the 1890’s with considerable expansion in the 20th century. It is now well established in the US, Canada, and Australia. Chiropractic doctors (DC’s) obtain their education in the US in programs that are accredited through the Council on Chiropractic Education.

 

After obtaining an undergraduate degree, chiropractic school takes 4 more years of training. There are 18 programs in the US, 2 in Canada, 6 in Australasia, and 5 in Europe. There are an estimated 53,000 chiropractors in the US as of 2006.

 

The percentage of population that utilizes chiropractic treatment at any given time in the US is about 10-12%. The vast majority who seek chiropractor treatment do so for relief from back and neck pain, most specifically for low back pain. Since chiropractor care often overlaps with physical therapy, patients with extremity pain, including knee, hip, shoulder, elbow, wrist, etc are treated effectively as well.

 

Satisfaction rates are typically higher for chiropractic care compared to medical care, with a 1998 survey reporting 83% of respondents satisified or very satisfied with their care. In the US, most states require insurers to cover chiropractic care. Chiropractic treatment is typically covered by most insurance plans. Chiropractic therapy is generally safe when employed skillfully and appropriately.

 

Systematic reviews of chiropractic treatment have shown effectiveness for back pain. The profession combines aspects from mainstream and alternative medicine. Common patient management involves chiropractic spinal manipulation and other manual therapies to the joints and soft tissues, rehab and physical therapy exercises, electrical modalities (such as TENS Units), ice, trigger point therapy, ultrasound, and NonSurgical Spinal Decompression Therapy.

 

Chiropractic treatment overlaps with several other manual therapy professions, including massage therapy, osteopathy, and physical therapy. Spinal manipulation, which chiropractors call “spinal adjustment” or “chiropractic adjustment” is the most common treatment used in chiropractic care.

 

There are multiple types of adjustment techniques performed by chiropractors. Diversified Technique (full spine manipulation), Activator Technique (spring loaded tool), Gonstead, Cox flexion-distraction, Nimmo Receptor-Tonus Technique, and Applied Kinesiology.
