“Is Chiropractic based on science?”
Good question. We have a lot of evidence that Chiropractic manipulation helps different conditions and we have much less evidence it helps others.
We also have evidence of what happens with this type of Chiropractic treatment (the adjustment also called manipulation) and how it can effect pain, muscle tone, and range of motion.
Increasingly research is showing the effects of the adjustment on the nervous system.
There’s More To Chiropractic Than The Adjustment.
Chiropractic treatment isn’t just limited to the adjustment, although this is often a very important treatment.
Chiropractic includes much more ranging from different types of therapies to rehabilitation, exercise, and various lifestyle recommendations.
The answer to your question is that yes there is evidence for many things that Chiropractors do to help their patients.
These other treatments and recommendations vary between different Chiropractors and what they do much like any other healthcare provider.
Also like other healthcare providers, treatment is often also guided by clinical experience.
Research is constantly evolving and applications take some time to be implemented by practitioners. It should also be noted that practitioners often find that a certain treatment approach works well for their patients. and this clinical experience is very valuable regardless.
