Author: Merry Jazz

Though Chiropractic practices was clouded with skepticism, the considerable numbers of people who obtain a positive result after a Chiropractic treatment pave way to the popularity of this alternative medicine throughout the world. Chiropractic which existed since 1895 is continuously proving its significance in treating and managing various disorders about skeletal and muscular body structure.

Chiropractic may not be considered by The American Medical Association as a scientific medical form of treatment but the continuous regulation standards in Chiropractic as a complementary alternative medicine and the accreditation policy of Chiropractic schools in the United States assure the quality and credibility of Chiropractic practitioners.

The American Medical Association and its members do not directly support Chiropractic but they believe that this alternative medicine demonstrated a satisfactory good degree of efficacy in relieving and managing pain arising from joints, muscles and bones ailments. The AMA likewise states that it is not unethical for medical doctors to work with or combine their treatment with that of Chiropractor especially if this will benefit the patient. In fact, medical doctors can also teach and take part to the education development of Chiropractic students.

Chiropractic practices if performed skillfully and accordingly was likewise declared by the World Health Organization as safe and effective as a health care alternative for avoidance and controlling several health disorders. Chiropractic also stands tall to its non-invasive approach that probably attracts millions of people to try this alternative medicine.

There have been several researches and studies in the past conducted by health agencies in United States and Canada that supported the scientific validity and efficacy of chiropractic treatment for various muscle and joint related pains and disorders. One example is the Manga Report that was funded by Ontario Ministry of Health. This study revealed interesting findings that Chiropractic treatment surprisingly obtained higher patient approval compared with other traditional treatments because of the lower cost of the Chiropractic and non-confinement during treatment period.

There are likewise previously conducted comparative studies that revealed positive response of employees in favor of Chiropractic treatment as compared with standard doctor consultation. They state that recovery from neck or back injuries are faster if done with the help of Chiropractic practitioners. This also means that absences from work are significantly lessen when employees or workers seek Chiropractic to treat their muscle and joint related disorders.

Chiropractors are also viewed by their patients as more hands-on or more attentive to their treatment. Chiropractic practitioners tend to work closer with their patients hence, patients are more comfortable to relay and talk about the disorders. Patients perceived that the health care they obtained from Chiropractic are more personalized and greatly designed for their own body structure.

The success and growing wide acceptance to Chiropractic practices will not be possible if there is no significant number of people who have tried this alternative medicine and attested for its efficacy in relieving pain. The safeness of Chiropractic have been under observations for so many years because of the insufficient scientific proof of the subluxation concept of Chiropractic but it is really the patients and the effectivity of this treatment that indeed strengthen the proposition of Chiropractic as a safe alternative medicine.
