Chiropractic care....Mainstream

A recent article in the Philadelphia Inquirer titled, Alternative medicine gaining acceptance , mentioned chiropractic. The author said that "Chiropractic, once considered alternative, is now considered mainstream, or nearly so." As far as I am concerned, chiropractic care has never been an alternative health field. Based on its philosophy, chiropractic is different and it always has been. For example, an alternative to drugs is to try an herbal supplement or a homeopathic remedy. Alternative approaches looking for the same result, alleviation of symptoms. Chiropractic's purpose, to adjust the spine to improve spinal function, performance and health is a separate and distinct field because symptoms are not the concern, structural integrity is. Anybody, with or without symptoms can utilize chiropractic care for the same reason, spinal alignment. If you are looking for an alternative to proper spinal alignment, there isn't one, thus chiropractic's uniqueness.

One additional note: Thanks to all of you, and your dedicated devotion to health, chiropractic is now considered mainstream! Thank you for choosing chiropractic care.
