Chiropractic Therapy
Alternative Therapy

It originates from a Greek word that means 'done by hand'.

Chiropractic treatment is an example of alternative therapy for those who suffer from back, neck and shoulder pain.

What is the Chiropractic therapy philosophy?

Originating as far back as the 1890's, it is based on a healing art that involves manipulation and adjustment of the spine. The practitioner uses either hands or an adjusting tool to perform specific manipulations of the vertebrae.

Chiropractic care is one of the most popular alternative therapies and is covered by many insurance carriers.

Regardless of its popularity it is still not considered a traditional medical service by some insurance carriers, so it is important to check with your provider.

Chiropractic expenses can also be covered through many discount health plans and discount dental plans which include discounts on various healthcare services; with some of these plans the patient is given a discount and then pays the remaining balance.
