Chiropractic
Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system, and the effects of these disorders on general health. Chiropractic care is used most often to treat neuromusculoskeletal complaints, including but not limited to back pain, neck pain, pain in the joints of the arms or legs, and headaches.
Doctors of Chiropractic – often referred to as chiropractors or chiropractic physicians – practice a drug-free, hands-on approach to health care that includes patient examination, diagnosis and treatment. Chiropractors have broad diagnostic skills and are also trained to recommend therapeutic and rehabilitative exercises, as well as to provide nutritional, dietary and lifestyle counseling.
Acupuncture
The term "acupuncture" describes a family of procedures involving the stimulation
of anatomical points on the body using a variety of techniques. The acupuncture
technique that has been most often studied scientifically involves penetrating
the skin with thin, solid, metallic needles that are manipulated by the hands
or by electrical stimulation.
