Chiropractic is a form of alternative medicine mostly concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the musculoskeletal system especially the spine. Chiropractic was invented by D. D. Palmer, Sep 18, 1895 when he adjusted the spine of a deaf man and allegedly restored his hearing. There are no evidences that prove chiropractic therapy is effective. The spinal manipulation therapy is effective for some patients with low back pain. The treatment has more side effects and risks than the benefits. “Chiropractors… might compete with physiotherapists in terms of treating some back problems, but all their other claims are beyond belief and can carry a range of significant risks” is concluded by Simon Singh and Edzard Ernst in their book Trick or Treatment.
