		Chiropractic medicine is a form of treatment that uses manipulative therapy to correct subluxation, which many chiropracters hold are the cause of most disease.
		The original chiropractic hypothesis, stated simply, is that "subluxation is the cause of dis-ease." Modern day chiropractic associations may have expanded and changed this simple statement for the public, but the reality is that this remains the backbone of chiropractic education and practice to this day.
		Chiropractic "subluxation" is not the same as medical subluxation, which represents a partial dislocation of joint structure and would be a contraindication to "adjusting" or "manipulating" the joint structures.

	Gale Encyclopedia of Medicine: Chiropractic
		Chiropractic is a therapy that focuses on the relationship of the spinal column to the nervous system and on its effects in maintaining good health.
		The word chiropractic is derived from the Greek word "cheir" meaning "hand," and "prakticos" meaning "done by" or "skillful use of." Described as the skillful use of hands, chiropractic focuses virtually all its efforts on the physical manipulation of spine and joints.
		It is thus the single aim of the chiropractor to regard the spine as the major factor in health and disease and to therefore concentrate all his or her efforts on manipulating the spine back to its normal, healthy position.
