Chiropractic Frankston is a popular alternative medical career concerned with the treatment and diagnosis of various mechanical ailments of the skeletal system, particularly of the back. It’s based on an alleged pseudoscientific theory known as chiropractic science. Its practitioners are often described as chiropractors. But they aren’t medical doctors – at least not most of them. The main reason is that chiropractic isn’t really a science; it’s more like an artsy hobby or even something that can be considered a creative outlet for some of those creatively-inclined doctors!

 

Chiropractors Mornington are supposed to use spinal manipulation, which involves manipulating certain soft tissues along the spine to relieve pain, stimulate healing and encourage normal function. They employ various techniques, such as spinal adjustment, electrical muscle stimulation, laser therapy, and manual therapy. However, these are all mere ways of applying pressure and manipulating soft tissues along the spine, and so chiropractors aren’t really any more qualified to tell you how to live your life than the most unaided masseuse. A Chiropractor will make a few diagnoses for you, but the main claim they make is that your spine is misaligned and needs to be “corrected”. It’s easy to see then that chiropractic isn’t a science. It’s also easy to see why chiropractors are a bit controversial.

 

Chiropractors use manipulative therapies (or adjustments) on the spine and other joints of the body in order to align the joints and remove stress from the musculoskeletal systems. And they say that by making little or no adjustments, you can get your life back. In reality, most patients never see any benefit from their visits. It’s important to bear these things in mind when you decide to work with Chiropractors.

 

Many Doctors of Chiropractors swear by chiropractic care. These doctors have actually been trained by some chiropractors and have received formal chiropractic education. Still, others believe that chiropractics should be separate from medicine and believe that chiropractors should become full time doctors and perform operations as well as give prescriptions. Others feel that chiropractic care should be conducted by an independent board of physicians, who may not receive specialized training in chiropractics. Still others would like nothing better than for chiropractors to become full time doctors just like every other doctor does.

 

There are many arguments over which is the rightful heir to the traditional physician-patient relationship. One is whether chiropractors are truly capable of providing the primary care functions necessary to maintain a healthy society. And even if they are capable, there is some debate over whether chiropractic care is even beneficial. Studies show that chiropractic care can cause harm to patients, and even death. Doctors of Chiropractors must also meet a stringent state regulated medical board in order to practice chiropractic medicine.

 

Chiropractors are also limited in what they can do because chiropractic medicine, like most forms of alternative medicine, is focused on manipulation of the skeletal, nervous, and vascular systems. Thus, doctors of chiropractics are not allowed to treat patients with diseases of the musculo-skeletal system. In fact, treating patients with diseases of the spine is against the statute in New York State which protects the rights of patients to seek treatment for those diseases. Doctors of Chiropractors cannot prescribe treatments for conditions unrelated to their spinal misalignments. Thus, chiropractic care is restricted to the management of spinal misalignments.
