What Is Chiropractic?

Ray Hrdlicka – Host – Chiropractors.Media

Hi, this is Ray Hrdlicka, host of Chiropractors.Media, and today we’re sitting with Ken Fredericks, a chiropractor in Port Orchard, Washington, and we’re going to talk about his practice and a bunch of the techniques that he practices… that other chiropractors don’t practice, but also with an explanation about chiropractic in general.

Let’s begin. First of all, welcome, Ken. I appreciate you being with us today.

So first, let’s talk about chiropractic in general. What is chiropractic, the definition of it, and what don’t people understand?

Wow, okay, chiropractic, the definition — the word, chiropractic, is in itself Latin. Chiro means by hand. Practic means practice of. So this is an art that we do by hand. And in its most general terms, chiropractic helps the body restore its natural healthy state. Chiropractic helps the body’s innate ability to try to heal itself. As chiropractors, we facilitate that.
