For more that 30 years, Chiropractise has become an accepted way of correcting subluxations in the spine. It is a means of adjusting the spine and treatment for strokes, numbness and back pains.
Though it has been accepted the world over, it is now gradually gaining acceptance among the Ghanaian populace after its introduction about 10 years ago.
The word Chiropractic originated from the Greek word chiro meaning hand and practice concerned with action. It was founded in the 1890’s by D.D. Palmer and his son B.J.Palmer.
It is a health care discipline and profession that emphasises diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disorders of the spine.
Chiropractic care is also a scientific method of eliminating the cause of disease through spinal manipulation without the use of drugs, medicines or surgery.
It is a means of correcting subluxations in the spine like spondylosis, Lumbalgia and scoliosis.
Chiropractic care at the moment has gained more legitimacy and greater acceptance among medical physicians and health experts sin countries like U.S, Canada Australia and lately Ghana.
The treatment technique does not involve any medication but includes manual therapy, specifically the use of the hands.
It also includes the manipulation of the spine and other joints, exercises and practising healthy living lifestyles.
People who suffer from accidents, waist pains, diabetes and physically challenged patients are great benefactors.
Ghana has now become one of the African countries to accept Chiropractic care. One thing that is not known to many is that, children below the ages of four years can take chiropractic treatment.
For many who wait till they get involved in any kind of accident or for those who experience problems with their nerves before they seek chiropractic treatment have a long term treatment period. Cost of treatment ranges between three thousand Ghana cedis and fifty thousand Ghana cedis depending on the treatment plan.
To some, chiropractic care is reserved for only the rich in society, but some chiropractors think otherwise.
Some chiropractic members i talked to were full of praises for the introduction of Chiropractise in Ghana. According to them it has relieved them of a lot of backache and stress.
So the next time, you decide to spend thousands of Ghana cedis to buy a blackberry or an I phone, do well to save that money for chiropractic treatment, as it would relieve you of a lot of stress.
