CHIROPRACTIC MEDICINE
Chiropractic medicine is based on the theory that our nervous system is the key to maintaining homeostasis (the tendency of biological systems of internal equilibrium) or a healthy balance in our body.
Chiropractors believe that the human body is susceptible to disease when the internal balance is disrupted by vertebra misalignment or of other joints and muscles that disturb the proper functioning of the nervous system due to tissue injury.
Chiropractors primarily treat patients with conditions such as back pain, neck pain and headaches. This is because the procedure focuses on the nervous system, the circulatory system, and a patients nutrition, exercise and other life style choices, chiropractic also examines the combined effect of the factors on a patients overall health and the prevention of disease.

Chiropractic medicine adheres to the belief that diagnosis and treat of ailments in the musculoskeletal system will have a positive holistic effect on a person’s overall health.

Spinal, muscle, tissue manipulation has being practiced since the beginning of time; this could be seen in ancient Egyptian, Indian, Babylonian, Japanese, Chinese Syrian, Tibetan, papyrus records. However, Chinese records which date from about 2700 B.C provide one of the earlier written references to spinal manipulation. The Greeks also had records of chiropractic medicine which dated back to at least 1500 B.C.

And in the last 100 years Daniel David palmer was the first to perform chiropractic alternative health medicine in 1895 on a patient who had become deaf about 17 years earlier after he felt some thing give, in his back after D.D.

D.D Palmer continued to explore the relationship between joint dysfunction. How it affects the nervous system, and the impact of both human health. And in 1897 he founded the palmer school of chiropractic alternative health practice in Daven port iowa.
