What theory underlies chiropractic medicine and is considered a mainstream or an alternative medical treatment?
Chiropractic medicine is based on the theory that many human diseases are caused by misalignment of the spine (subluxation). Chiropractors are licensed in all 50 states, but some consider chiropractic a mainstream therapy while others view it as a form of complementary and alternative medicine CAM. Significant research in the past 10 years has demonstrated its efficacy for acute lower-back pain. The National Institutes of Health is funding research on other potential benefits, including headaches, asthma, middle ear inflammation, menstrual cramps, and arthritis.
