Chiropractors treat disorders by which of the following methods?
A) Applying force to a specific location
B) Massaging the area to encourage circulation
C) Manipulating the spine to align vertebrae
D) Channeling the universal energy
C
Feedback:
According to chiropractic theory, misalignment of the spinal vertebrae changes activities of nerves that control body functions in distant organs. This may lead to diseases. Spine manipulation treats the disorders by correcting the alignment of the vertebrae. Applying force to a specific location is the method of acupressure and not chiropractic. Massage improves circulation, but this is not the main job of the chiropractor. Channeling universal energy happens only in Reiki.
