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. The aim of the adjustment is to support movement in that joint and improve spinal mobility. Chiropractic care does not replace medical care.
