Taibah University Complementary and Alternative Medicine Discussion Response

 

Medical products and practices that are not normally part of the medical care standards are called complementary or alternative medicine. Chiropractic medicine is one of the medical practices that is considered alternative medicine. Chiropractic is mainly focusing on the relationship between the skeleton, the muscles, and the nerves. Practitioners of this field believe that by adjusting the body can help you preserve your health. I personally think that the chiropractic practice is good and that it does help because I personally got treatment from a chiropractor before and it did help my situation and I never really had to go back after that one time. Most people that visit chiropractors go because they have pain that they need to be relieved predominately in the neck and back areas. This treatment is beneficial because it helps relieve pain, although it is not a good fit for everyone. Some people don’t get better from using this type of treatment, so after the first session they have, if they don’t feel better it’s recommended that they not continue to go through with the. treatment. Some risks of chiropractic practice include a herniated disk or worsening of one, compression of nerves, and some others. Although these things are very rare they could happen, depending on age and other factors.
