Conventional Medicine vs Chiropractic Treatment

Athlete Getting Chiropractic Adjustment

Chiropractic, like traditional or conventional medicine, is based upon scientific principles of diagnosis, testing, empirical observation and treatment.

However, chiropractic differs from conventional medicine in that it uses manual manipulation (adjustments) of the spine to realign it so that the nervous system can function without impediment, resulting in greater health.

Conventional medicine on the other hand relies primarily on drugs and/or surgery to treat a condition or disease. However, there are often times when a chiropractor will recommend that the patient consult another medical practitioner and many physicians refer their patients to chiropractors.
