| Chiropractic
is a branch of the healing arts which is concerned with human health
and disease processes. Doctors of Chiropractic are physicians who consider
man as an integrated being and give special attention to the physiological
and biochemical aspects including structural, spinal, musculoskeletal,
neurological, vascular, nutritional, emotional and environmental relationships.
The practice and
procedures which may be employed by Doctors of Chiropractic are based
on the academic and clinical training received in and through accredited
chiropractic colleges and include, but are not limited to, the use of
current diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Such procedures specifically
include the adjustment and manipulation of the articulations and adjacent
tissues of the human body, particularly of the spinal column. Included
is the treatment of intersegmental aberrations for alleviation of related functional
disorders. Chiropractic is
a drug-free, non-surgical science and, as such, does not include pharmaceuticals
or incisive surgery. Due regard shall be given to the fact that state
laws, as well as the nation's antitrust laws, may allow Doctors of Chiropractic
to utilize ancillary health care procedures commonly referred to as
being in the common domain.
