The World Health Organization (WHO) defines Chiropractic as “A health care profession concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disorders of the neuromusculoskeletal system and the effects of these disorders on general health. There is an emphasis on manual techniques, including joint adjustment and/or manipulation with a particular focus on subluxations.”
The relationship between structure, especially of the spine and musculoskeletal system and function, especially as coordinated by the nervous system, is central to the profession’s approach to treatment, health and well being. Philosophically there is an emphasis on the mind/body relationship in health and the natural healing powers of the body.
Do Chiropractors Work With Other Doctors?
Interdisciplinary practice is now common, with chiropractic doctors/chiropractors, medical doctors, physical therapists, naturopathic doctors and others working as partners in private practices, occupational health, automobile accident and other rehabilitation centres and national sports medicine teams. While most chiropractic services are community based in private offices, hospital based services are today available in many countries.
What Type of Spinal Adjustments Do You Use?
The main adjustive technique that Dr. Ron uses is known as Activator Methods or just Activator (www.activator.com). The technique employs the use of a small handheld instrument known as an Activator, to deliver a precisely-measured gentle thrust in a specific direction thus coaxing misaligned bones back into place.

I know there is so much controversy between chiropractic and medical care, but if it were not for chiropractic I would still be in pain. A car accident left me with constant lower back pain. I tried everything from painkillers to preparing to have surgery. I heard stories from my friends who had surgery and to this day wish they never had it. So I decided to go to a chiropractor before the surgery and I am so thankful that I did. My back pains are gone and I am living my life to the fullest and pain free.
