Chiropractic

A bachelor's degree in exercise science will most likely fulfill the prerequisite requirements for entry into a DC program. It will not be sufficient by itself to become licensed in the United States.

AMA members were advised that it was unethical to be associated with chiropractors

Absolutely nothing, a neck adjustment does not always need to be done bilaterally (on both sides) to have a desired effect.

I am pretty sure you just address it normally until the person is actually a doctor

Yes, a chiropractor is addressed as Dr. _____.

The degree for becoming a chiropractor is called a Doctor of Chiropractic, and is abbreviated D.C.

In addition to physicians and academics with a doctoral degree, it is customary to address as Doctor such health practitioners as veterinarians, optometrists, and chiropractors.

This is especially true in the majority of states in which doctors of chiropractic have been legislated or ruled in court to be "physicians". Under Federal laws, all doctors who receive medicare benefits are considered physicians. This includes Chiropractors. In 2009, the Joint Commission (JCOAH) which sets policy for all accredited hospitals in the US, revised its position to include Chiropractors as "Physicians".

This difference may indicate a slight difference in the education of the chiropractor. For example, in Canada and the US chiropractors complete a 4 year doctoral program (after an undergraduate degree) to get a doctorate in chiropractic (DC) degree. In Australia, chiropractors complete a 2 year masters degree (after an undergraduate degree) to get a masters in chiropractic. Thus, in Canada and the US, a chiropractor is a doctor and has a DC qualification, whereas in Australia a chiropractor is a therapist and has a masters degree not a DC.

Yes. However, you could always ask to go on a payment plan. Usually Chiropractors are very flexible with this. The Chiropractors office could have told you that you were no longer covered under insurance and that you have to submit a new plan if you want to be covered. Michael FindYourPolicy.com

No. Look at marathon/long-distance runners, they're all skinny. Running is a low-resistance exercise repeated over and over, which really doesn't build much muscle. If you want to bulk up, do few repetitions but as heavy as you can manage.

This is actually not the most effective method. Max weight generally doesn't allow for a ton of hypertrophy, but would still be better than running. You want to do a decent amount of weight, but low enough that you can still go multiple sets of 8-10 reps, allowing for more fiber stimulation. Something like 60% of your max. And Eat protein.

There are a couple types of equipment that give electrical stimulation and are used as a form of short-term pain control. Probably the two most common are:

1) TENS (Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation)

2) IFC (Interferential current)

no, but seek neurosurgeon's advice.

The word 'Chiropractic' is derived from the Greek 'cheir' (hand) and 'praktos' (done, or practiced) and literally means 'done by hand' or 'to practice by hand'.

It will depend on the country, state or province, and even the individual chiropractor that you see. Fortunately, most times the cost of a visit to the chiropractor is covered by private health insurance (eg: student health plan, employee health plan, etc.).

In North America, a chiropractic visit can cost $25 - $100, dependent on the variables described above. The cost can be even higher if x-rays are required.

In Bristol, a fully qualified member of the British Chiropractic Association cost £38 for treatment.

From the base words chiro- by hand and -practic to straighten.

The periodic nature of mild occipital neuralgia usually does not interfere with daily life. The prognosis for persons with more severe occipital neuralgia is also good, as the pain is usually lessened or eliminated by treatment.

Yes. Chiropractors may use manipulation to mobilize the shoulder joint and increase its range of motion. In addition, some chiropractors may use soft-tissue techniques such as "Active Release Techniques" or "Graston Technique" to break up scar tissue that binds the shoulder. Typically they will also prescribe stretches and exercises. Healing a frozen shoulder is typically a gradual and lengthy procedure, because it is easy to re-injure, often taking anywhere from 4 weeks to 6 months or more to fully heal. In severe cases, chiropractors in some states may provide manipulation under anesthesia in a hospital setting, although this is much less common.

After any person's name "MS" generally means Master of Science. This implies that in addition to the doctor of chiropractic (DC) degree, that the chiropractic physician also obtained a Master's degree.

These codes are diagnostic codes your doctor will use to describe what type of injury or problem you have. For example 847.2 describes a sprain/strain to the thoracic spine(mid-back).
