Paper Summary:

More patients seeking drug and surgery-free alternatives for their ailments are increasingly turning to natural therapies such as chiropractic therapy which specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions that are caused by mechanical dysfunctions of the joints and their effects on the nervous system. It studies the relationship between chiropractic therapy and the traditional healthcare system, through a critical study of various literature regarding the benefits of chiropractic therapy using the hypothesis that the traditional medical community is gradually recognizing the benefits of chiropractic therapy.

From the Paper:

"Chiropractors work with a wide variety of patients, from children to the elderly, from injured athletes to accident victims. A growing number of chiropractors are increasingly specializing in the treatment of children and pre-teenagers. Lately, more and more children are taking extra-curricular activities such as soccer and karate. In addition, they are also lugging heavier backpacks. These factors subject the spine to an inordinate amount of stress. Backpain, once a bane of the middle-aged, now afflicts young children at an alarming rate (DeMarco 2002)."
