Chiropractic is one of the largest primary-contact healthcare professions
|
Canada is served by over 6,500 practicing chiropractors. Approximately four and a half million Canadians use the services of a chiropractor each year.
Chiropractic is a regulated health profession recognized by statute in all Canadian provinces and American states. The benefits of chiropractic care are well recognized by other health care practitioners. In a 1995 survey, 44 per cent of Ontario and Alberta physicians indicated that they refer patients for chiropractic treatment. The word chiropractic comes from a combination of the Greek words "chiro" and "praktikis" meaning "done by hand." Chiropractors provide specialized "hands-on" treatment of the spine, muscles and joints of the body.
