Education Needed To Be a Wellness Chiropractic

Introduction

The science of understanding that there is a relationship between the structure of the spine and the functions of the nervous system makes up the core of what a wellness chiropractic has to know. A wellness chiropractic knows that the vertebrae, from which all of the nerves branch off to other parts of the body and which connect the brain to these nerves, if aligned wrongly (and this can happen because of a great number of reasons), can cause serious problems. These problems range from pain to irritation, specific health problems and also increased susceptibility to illness and infections.

History

A wellness chiropractic treats problems such as headaches, back aches, pain between the shoulder blades, stiffness and pain of the neck, pain of the hips or legs, numbness and pain of the limbs, muscular pains in the chest or abdomen etc. In case your problem is a chiropractic one, there is no cure for it but what can be provided by a wellness chiropractic, and not offered by any other branches of medical science.

The treatment offered by a wellness chiropractic is through adjustments of any vertebrae which the chiropractic diagnoses as being out of place and pressing down on any sensitive nerves, impairing its functions. This adjustment is usually not painful, and the effects are almost always instantaneous, making it possible for the patient to leave feeling and being perfectly well and cured.

Features

Medication and drugs are never prescribed by a wellness chiropractic. They believe that drugs only mask and disguise the symptoms of problems, making matters worse in the long run as this leads to faulty diagnosis or prevents any diagnosis from being made at all.

A wellness chiropractic is a doctor, and needs a minimum of six years of education and a clinical internship (for a duration of a minimum of about a thousand hours in the fourth year of post-graduate education) to get a degree (this is the Doctor of Chiropractic or D.C.) to be able to practice. A license is mandatory for performing as a wellness chiropractic, and for this, another licensing exam at the state or national level has to be cleared – a procedure just like the one required for, say, lawyers. So, one practices as a wellness chiropractic only after all of the above requirements have been complied with strictly.
