About Chiropractic 

According to WHO, Chiropractic is a health profession concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, and the effects of these disorders on the function of the nervous system and general health. There is an emphasis on manual treatments including spinal adjustment and other joint and soft-tissue manipulation.

​

Today, chiropractic is taught and practiced throughout the world and the profession has earned broad acceptance of its services from the public and in national health care systems. It is widely regarded as the leading example of an allied health care discipline reaching maturity and mainstream acceptance. In 2003, WHO published guidelines recommending minimal educational standards for the inclusion and regulation of chiropractic within national health care systems. These benchmarks update the education standards in response to evolving needs of health systems and expectations of patients and the public.
