Chiropractic is the Art, the Science and the Philosophy that was first defined by D.D. Palmer in 1895. It consists of identifying the presence of Vertebral Subluxations, and correcting them by the application of a specific thrust within predefined vectors. This correction is termed an "Adjustment".
A Vertebral subluxation consists of various components, and is thought to be the primary cause of nerve interference at the level of the spinal nerve roots, and this leads to many dysfunctions of the body (Chiropractors often use the word dis-ease).
An Adjustment is a precise technique used by Chiropractors (either manually or through the use of a percussion instrument) to correct Subluxations, sometimes referred to as "misalignments of the spine".
It should not be confused with "simple manipulation" which does not exhibit the precision component, or with "mobilization" which imparts general motion to an area.
