Couple of words about chiropractic. Alternative for medicine

Abstract

Chiropractic is one of the medical fields which provide a holistic care around the patient. Itis mainly widespread in the United States because that's the place where this “art of healing” was created, developed and is improving in that country until today. In Poland it's relatively unknown and that's why we would like to familiarize the readers with its range of impact and wide possibilities of healing, which are often concerned to be only a paramedical “bone-setting” or even “shamanism” In article below we prove that chiropractic profession has strong medical foundations which include wide scope of knowledge in anatomy, physiology, pathology, manual medicine, rehabilitation, nutrition, hygiene of living and also commissioning, executing and analyzing diagnostic tests. Chiropractic is based on autoregulation and self-healing abilities of the human body and by the fact itself it does not use surgical procedures and pharmaceuticals but yet it does not spare activity, proper nutrition, herbalism and taking a good care about patients self-feeling. Unfortunately in the European countries chiropractic activity is smaller. Not fully using this way of healing, even in the United States, is a result of medical monopoly which is led by medical doctors
