According to the definition of the World Health Organization (international framework), chiropractic is a health discipline that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially of the spine. In Spain, chiropractic is legal but not officially regulated as a healthcare profession.
How does the chiropractic adjustment work?
The vertebral adjustment (or spinal manipulation) consists of applying a controlled and specific force to a joint of the spine that has lost its normal mobility. This adjustment restores movement, eases pressure on the nerves and allows the nervous system to function more effectively.
