In the United States, there are three kinds of doctors who have the right to diagnose and practice independently. One is a doctor of medicine (M.D.); The second type is chiropractor (D.C.) who treats chiropractic; The third is a doctor of orthopedics (D.O.).

Chiropractic therapy is recognized by major medical insurance institutions and their insurance types in the United States. Famous ones are: medication, Medicaid, Blue Cross, etc.

Extremely common, all car accident medical insurance recognizes chiropractic treatment.

At present, doctors in this major are practicing medicine in many countries and regions in the world, and they are becoming more and more popular. Professional chiropractic colleges have been established in Britain, Canada, Japan, South Korea and even Taiwan Province Province. Chiropractic therapy originated from western traditional natural therapy. Since Dr. D.D. Palmer officially named this natural therapy as acupressure therapy of Spine, and established the first college-Palmer Chiropractic College, acupressure therapy of Spine has made great progress. In the college, students pay special attention to the study of spinal anatomy, neuroanatomy and neurophysiology in addition to the regular basic medical knowledge and medical diagnosis courses. On this basis, the college teaches students a set of analytical and diagnostic methods for spinal balance. And a set of strict manual therapy training. After very strict clinical practice and graduation examination, students can graduate.

In the guiding ideology of teaching and treatment, it is theoretically believed that chiropractic acts on the spine, that is, the main connection between the brain and other parts of the body. The brain is the main center to control the whole body, and its control must be completed through the spinal nerves (excluding twelve pairs of cranial nerves). When the spine compresses the nerves, the function of the brain can not be effectively exercised, which will cause dysfunction accordingly, thus affecting human health.

There is a very important term in this major-joint subluxation. Compared with dislocation-joint dislocation or dislocation, subluxation only deviates from the normal physiological position to a certain extent. Total dislocation will immediately cause the loss of joint function, accompanied by severe pain. Generally, it will also severely oppress the nerves and make the human body suffer from serious diseases, such as high paraplegia. On the other hand, subluxation is quite hidden, especially for young people.

After many years, this long-term mechanical imbalance of subluxation will cause joint degeneration, such as intervertebral disc thinning, spinous process hyperplasia of intervertebral disc, pyramidal hypertrophy and so on. Also known as osteoarthritis-osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis can reduce the range of motion of the spine, make joints tense and stiff, and often cause pain. Such as neck, upper back and waist pain, of which waist pain is the most common. At the same time, it often happens that the joint structure changes due to joint diseases, which oppresses the spinal nerve, thus producing a series of diseases.

Obviously, many diseases are directly and indirectly related to the compression of spinal nerves. After more than 100 years of practice, chiropractic therapy has quite obvious curative effect on many diseases. Some difficult and chronic diseases whose causes are unknown by general medical methods are often related to the spine, which needs careful examination and corrective treatment.

There are many reasons for spinal subluxation. First of all, the front of the spine should be straight vertically, and both sides of the hip should be balanced symmetrically. Viewed from the side, the top and abdomen bend forward, and the chest and sacrum bend backward, which is normal physiological bending. The spine is elastic when it is bent normally. In one's life, one will encounter all kinds of spinal injuries. When the baby is born, if the doctor pulls the baby out of the mother's body too hard, it is easy to cause damage to the baby's cervical spine. Bad posture and inappropriate exercise during the child's growth can also cause damage to the spine.

Teenagers are most likely to cause spinal injuries because of their rapid growth and extreme activity. Because of the high flexibility of adolescent spine, this kind of injury has strong concealment. After entering adulthood, heavy physical labor or strenuous and inappropriate exercise is also an important factor leading to spinal injury and degeneration. If you have been injured when you are young, you will generally start to have obvious symptoms in middle age. When you get old, the symptoms will become more and more obvious.

Typical spinal diseases and their treatment methods are:

1, cervical spondylosis

Headache, neck pain, head rotation disorder, arm numbness, arm numbness, upper back pain. After chiropractic treatment, symptoms can be alleviated or terminated.

2. Scoliosis

Generally, children have the best curative effect, and the curative effect of adults depends on the degree of permanent injury of spinal joints and the number and time of treatment. On the level of reducing a certain lateral curvature, health care has a quite good effect, and further lateral curvature and further hunchback can be stopped.

3, low back pain

Generally, the fifth lumbar vertebra, sacrum and iliac joint are the most common. Further deterioration will cause disc herniation. The former is less accompanied by nerve compression than the latter. Therefore, the former treatment takes effect faster and the recovery is more complete. The latter is better treated with non-open disc herniation, depending on the degree of protrusion. However, open protrusion is difficult to treat, and the surgical effect is better in severe cases.

4. Health care therapy

This is very important. When people think they have no spinal problems, the symptoms may have reached a critical level. Because of the concealment of this subluxation of the spine, a patient with a considerable degree of subluxation will not be aware of his illness because of his comfortable life and no sudden external stimuli, such as car accidents and falls. Osteoarthritis caused by subluxation can occur slowly in decades of ordinary life, but the body constantly adapts to the changes of joints during the development of arthritis, and occasionally appears symptoms, which is often considered as a normal and inevitable phenomenon caused by age, thus failing to realize the importance of health care. This is why the incidence of spine and related diseases in people over 50 years old in China exceeds 80%. In the United States, this is also a problem that orthodontists often face.

However, the degeneration of spine shown by X-ray is obviously controlled by patients who have been treated on time for a long time or patients who have been treated on time for a long time. Regardless of age, ideal treatment, proper work, exercise and life can completely control the further degeneration of the spine.

5. Acute injury

It is mainly caused by car accidents, falls and carrying heavy objects. The effect of treatment is generally good. The length of treatment mainly depends on the degree of injury and the degree of spinal degeneration. Judging from the case of "Dong Chiropractic Center", he generally recovered completely within two months.

American chiropractic therapy, as a traditional western natural therapy, is similar to China's theory of traditional Chinese medicine in theory. At the same time, in the process of his development, he merged with modern medicine and formed his own independent style. In the teaching process, chiropractic pays attention to anatomy and X-ray, which lays a solid foundation for manual correction of spine and makes it effective and safe. According to the statistics of the National Chiropractic Association, the probability of death and paralysis is one in four million. Now the development of chiropractic in the United States is quite similar to the success of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine in the United States. In China, the development of western medicine is in the forefront of the world in many aspects, and there are many talents. The theory of traditional Chinese medicine has a long history and is profound. It has excellent effects in bonesetting and massage. The combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine has a history of several decades. The introduction of chiropractic can not only add to the icing on the cake, but also learn from each other's strengths and promote their own continuous development.
