Background: The Chiropractic profession plays a unique role in the healthcare delivery system of the United States. What is Chiropractic?  The American Chiropractic Association defines it as a healthcare profession that focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal system, and the nervous system, and the effects of these disorders on general health.  Chiropractic is a drug-free, hands-on approach to healthcare. Chiropractors have broad diagnostic skills, and are trained to recommend therapeutic and rehabilitative exercises, as well as to provide nutritional, dietary and lifestyle counseling.
