Some people call chiropractic an alternative medicine. It's not actually medicine in a conventional sense, because it doesn't use drugs or surgery. It heals people by natural methods that get them and keep them well. And as much attention is devoted to a comprehensive wholeness of care, as there is time and effort directed towards keeping a person well through proactive wellness measures.
