Dr. John Vasko’s answer to “WHAT IS A CHIROPRACTOR”?

A chiropractor is a doctor. Like all other doctors, he or she receives extensive studies in human anatomy, chemistry, neurology etc. Although the hours of study are quite similar between Medical Doctors (MDs) and Doctors of Chiropractic (DCs), the Chiropractor has a greater emphasis on the study of structure and how to find and correct abnormalities in a person’s nervous system. Chiropractors also differ from other doctors by the belief that the human body gets sick due to a loss of proper function and that health is restored by correcting the interference to normal function. 

The controller of function in the human body is the nervous system. Chiropractors work with a person’s body to allow proper function by removing the interference to it. When this is accomplished, the body can actually heal itself.

Chiropractors believe that to help someone to be well, you work with the goal in mind to have a person become and stay healthy through purely natural methods. You work to remove the interference to proper body function, not to remove the symptom of the damaged body part. For this reason, Chiropractors do not use drugs or surgery. Chiropractors feel that drugs and surgery are only valuable as a last resort or in emergency situations. Thus the Chiropractic quote: “Chiropractic first, Drugs second, and Surgery last.”

One last thing and that is that Chiropractic works. Every time a patient responds, it is proof that health is the normal condition of the body and that disease is abnormal. Since patients who respond to Chiropractic do so only because an interference was removed and not because something was added (as in drugs) nor taken out (as in surgery). Millions and millions of people needlessly suffer daily when Chiropractic could be their cure. Therefore, our purpose is to reach as many people as possible.
