What is Chiropractic?
According to the Association of Chiropractic Colleges, Chiropractic is a health care discipline which emphasizes the inherent recuperative power of the body to heal itself without the use of drugs or surgery. The practice of chiropractic focuses on the relationship between structure (primarily the spine) and function (as coordinated by the nervous system) and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health.
Chiropractic was founded in 1895 by Daniel David Palmer, based on his assertion that most health problems could be prevented or treated using adjustments of the spine (spinal adjustments), and by adjustments of other joints as well, to correct what he termed vertebral subluxations. He, and later his son B.J. Palmer, proposed that subluxations were misaligned vertebrae which caused nerve compression that interfered with the transmission of Innate Intelligence (the body's ability to heal itself). As a result, the human body would experience "dis-ease" or disharmony which would result in loss of optimal health.
Dr. Larry Webster, Founder of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association discovered the Webster Technique as a safe means to restore proper pelvic balance and function for pregnant mothers. In expectant mothers presenting breech, there has been a high reported success rate of the baby turning to the normal vertex position. This technique has been successfully used in women whose babies present transverse and posterior as well. It has also successfully used with twins. Any position of the baby other than ROA may indicate the presence of sacral subluxation and therefore intrauterine constraint.

A Patient-Centered Approach
A patient-centered approach focuses on the patient rather than the disease, preventing unnecessary barriers in the doctor-patient encounter. The patient is considered to be indispensable in, and ultimately responsible for, the maintenance of health.
