CHIROPRACTIC

“For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction,” says a law of physics. When a vertebra becomes misaligned (subluxation) due to an external pressure, the Chiropractor can restore the alignment by applying an opposite pressure in the appropriate manner to correct the misalignment.

Subluxation of the vertebra can cause pressure on spinal cord nerve tissues, interfering with the nerves’ ability to conduct impulses to other tissues and organs, thus directly affecting one's overall health. See also below Chiropractic-Network and Kinesiology.

KINESIOLOGY

The body is regarded as being the repository of a knowing on a very deep and subtle level. The body can only acknowledge truth. It also comprises an intricate network of interconnective nerves, in a matrix that, when and if any part is affected by anything, the whole feels that effect. In this way truth creates a positive impulse resulting in muscle integrity and strength, whereas that which is untrue creates the opposite effect. In this sense, when a question is put to the body that would solicit a yes or no answer, the body reacts in such a way that confirms the truth.

This is also extremely effective for situations external to one’s body, and can also be quite remotely located, as distance is no barrier. Such is the ability and power of the body to communicate on a universal level.

In Chiropractic terms there are several schools of thought, but in all cases the body will show, with the use of Kinesiology, where there is a weakness.

Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique (N.A.E.T.): An offshoot of applied kinesiology that was the subject of an article in a 1998 issue of Natural Health. Developed by Dr. Devi S. Nambudripad, N.A.E.T. is an energy modality that includes acupressure and chiropractic techniques. Its principle is that contact with adverse energy of exogenous substances causes energy blockages from which allergies result.

Critics, including many mainstream medical doctors and scientists, often reject the claims of some chiropractic associations and schools as pseudoscience, quackery, or fraud. Advocates believe at least some of this criticism was encouraged by the American Medical Association during the 1970s and early 1980s in what they have labeled "anti-chiropractic prejudice". In 1985, The National Council Against Health Fraud (NCAHF), a non-profit healthcare watch-dog group, issued a position statement critical of chiropractic.
