[edit] What Is A Chiropractor?
A doctor of chiropractic is a physician whose purpose, as a member of the healing arts, is to help meet the health needs of the public, giving particular attention to the structural and neurological aspects of the body.
The application of science in chiropractic concerns itself with the relationship between structure, primarily the spine, and function primarily coordinated by the nervous system of the human body as that relationship may affect the restoration and preservation of health. Further, this application of science in chiropractic focuses on the inherent ability of the body to heal without the use of drugs or surgery.
As a gatekeeper for direct access to the health delivery system, the doctor of chiropractic's responsibilities as a primary care clinician include wellness promotion, health assessment, diagnosis and the chiropractic management of the patient's healthcare needs. When indicated, the doctor of chiropractic consults with, co-manages, or refers to other healthcare providers. [2]
