The Broad Scope of Chiropractic
Chiropractic is not unconventional nor is it an alternative to medicine. It is an established, unique, effective health care method in its own right, serving millions of satisfied persons, and taking a back seat to no other healing method.
TREATING THE WHOLE PERSON
The scope of chiropractic is as broad as the nervous system which affects every tissue and every cell to some degree. Because chiropractors work chiefly with the spine and nerves, most persons see them as the doctor of choice for back pain and back problems.
But many persons are still unaware that chiropractic doctors treat the whole person for a long list of functional and organic diseases and conditions in all parts of the body. As a result of chiropractic research and the ongoing development of new technologies in diagnosis and treatment, the list of treatable conditions continues to grow.
Here is a partial list of conditions for which chiropractic has an excellent treatment record.

The same power which heals wounds on the outside of the body, heals functional and organic diseases on the inside of the body. Chiropractic helps that power.
