Chiropractic treatment is classified as an alternative branch of medicine. Practitioners of this medical discipline believes that many types of pain can be ascribed directly to the fact that the spine is not properly aligned. The spine is therefore their focus. By making sure that the spines of their patients are properly aligned, they can remove the source of the pain and provide relief.

The core principles of this form of treatment is straight forward. An out of alignment spine, say chiropractors, causes the nerve system to be placed under tremendous pressure. When this happens, the immune system suffers and this makes it very difficult for the body to heal itself, as it is designed to do. When the spine is straightened, the pressures is removed from the nerve system and the immune system can function normally.

Treatment is never painful or invasive and there is thus no chance of complications developing. No drugs are used either, and therefore patients will not experience unpleasant side effects.

It is not necessary to be a qualified medical doctor to practice as a chiropractor. It is nevertheless true that a large percentage of these practitioners are, in fact, qualified doctors. They often switch because they do not like the invasive nature of medical treatment and they think that the drugs prescribed to patients often do more harm than good. They do not shun medical science, however, and will refer patients to a doctor.

Chiropractors often go to great lengths to teach their patients how to prevent their spines from becoming unaligned. Maintaining the correct posture is of paramount importance and it may even be beneficial to wear posture correcting braces that forces the patient to draw back the shoulders and to stand and sit with a straight back. Disciplines such as yoga is also an excellent way in which to increase the flexibility of the body.
