Chiropractic Defined
Chiropractic was founded in 1895 by Daniel D. Palmer as an alternative health care discipline to medical practice. The word "chiropractic" is derived from Greek, meaning "done by hand."
Chiropractic education consists of a minimum of two years of university study in pre-med sciences, followed by four years of full time chiropractic school. Chiropractic colleges are recognized and accredited by the U.S. Council on Chiropractic Education (C.C.E.). The curriculum is similar to that of medical school, except in chiropractic the emphasis is placed on the structural and functional analysis of the spine/extremities and corrective adjusting techniques, while in medicine the emphasis is placed on the analysis of body chemistry and pharmaceutical (drug) interventions.
To become a licensed doctor of chiropractic after graduation from a Chiropractic College, the Chiropractic State Board Exams and National Board exams must be taken and passed.
There are many benefits from receiving chiropractic care, for example: pain relief, restored freedom of movement, performance enhancement, correction of the underlying problem, return to work and recreational activities, prevention of spinal decay and improved overall health.
Beyond traditional Chiropractic techniques, Dr. Law also incorporates the following techniques into her practice:
Excellent Care
- No waiting. Dr. Law values the patient’s time and is rarely more than 5 minutes behind schedule.
- The doctor stays current with the latest techniques and research.
- Adjunctive therapies such as physiotherapies, muscle work, stretching, exercise rehabilitation, and nutrition are offered.
- A very thorough evaluation and history will be performed at the first visit to establish a protocol that is specific for that patient.
- Dr. Law treats the entire person. She looks for the cause and not just at the symptoms, while focusing treatments on structural alignment, decreasing muscle tension, increasing function and strength, and improving neurological impulses.
