Chiropractic: Chiropractic is a healthcare discipline that focuses on the relationship between musculoskeletal structure (primarily the spine) and body function (as coordinated by the nervous system), and how this relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health. The broad term "spinal manipulative therapy" incorporates all types of manual techniques, including chiropractic. Multiple clinical studies have examined the effects of spinal manipulation in patients with acute or chronic neck pain. Overall, the quality of studies has been poor, and reviews of this topic have been unable to form clear or convincing conclusions. Better quality clinical research for the use of chiropractic for neck pain is necessary before a firm conclusion can be drawn. Although chiropractic helps many people with back pain (including lower back pain), there is not enough reliable scientific evidence to conclude whether chiropractic techniques are beneficial in the management of back pain when compared to conventional approaches, such as medication and surgery. Chiropractic has also been studied in lumbar disc herniation and whiplash injuries, with mixed results.

Mary I had low back pain so severe it caused me to limp and I could not do many activities that I enjoyed. I had tried many different things for the pain including medications and chiropractic but after I started receiving acupuncture on a regular basis my back pain went away. Now, I receive regular treatments once a month and it regulates my health and stops the pain.

 Michael I went to an Ayurvedic doctor who suggested I add flax ghee turmeric and licorice root to my diet for asthma. I have found that it does help.

 george I went to an Ayurvedic practitioner and she suggested I do oil massages with coconut oil and eat oatmeal and ghee. These small changes have really improved my mood.
