Well, next time you consult a doctor of chiropractic, get ready to feel very, very comforted.

Not everyone, though, apparently realizes what that means in terms of better health outcomes for patients. “Doctors of chiropractic are not only trained in problems dealing with the spine, but are formally educated in clinical examination and diagnosis -- with a focus on conservative health care interventions for the well-being of the whole person,” explains Sherry McAllister, DC, executive vice president of the not-forprofit Foundation for Chiropractic Progress.
