'''Chiropractic''' is a form of [[alternative healthcare]] based upon the [[theory]] that [[subluxations]] of the [[spine]] can cause pain and poor [[nerve]] signal transmission.<ref>http://www.internethealthlibrary.com/Therapies/Chiropractic.htm</ref> Proponents of Chiropractic have theorized that the [[vertebrae]] in the human spine can become misaligned, applying extra stress on certain muscles and possibly irritating the hub of a nerve pathway.<ref>http://www.chiroforlife.com/ChiroInfo/aboutchiro.htm</ref> However, the claims of Chiropractors have been in contention for many years, and despite its mainstream nature, it has been alleged that many of the claims regarding the benefits of Chiropractic are exaggerated.

In 2018, the medical journal ''JAMA Network Open'' indicated in the journal article ''Effect of Usual Medical Care Plus Chiropractic Care vs Usual Medical Care Alone on Pain and Disability Among US Service Members With Low Back Pain: A Comparative Effectiveness Clinical Trial'' indicated:
{{Cquote|Chiropractic care, when added to usual medical care, resulted in moderate short-term improvements in low back pain intensity and disability in active-duty military personnel. This trial provides additional support for the inclusion of chiropractic care as a component of multidisciplinary health care for low back pain, as currently recommended in existing guidelines.<ref>[https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30646047/ Effect of Usual Medical Care Plus Chiropractic Care vs Usual Medical Care Alone on Pain and Disability Among US Service Members With Low Back Pain: A Comparative Effectiveness Clinical Trial], JAMA Network Open, 2018 May 18;1(1):e180105.</ref>}}

Chiropractic was developed by [[DD Palmer]], a [[magnetic healer]], in 1895. The idea behind chiropractic [[medicine]] is the Chiropractic practitioner, or ''Chiropractor'' will use physical or instrument manipulations to realign the spine. Chiropractic adjustments have been stereotyped as ''racking and cracking''. This is not true as there are several techniques, most notably [[Activator Methods Technique]], which involve no physical maneuvers.
