Dr. Claudia Ng,

What is Chiropractic?
The word Chiropractic originates from the Greek translation meaning "done by hand". It goes without saying that chiropractic is a natural healing method using hands-only techniques and other non-invasive methods in assisting the human body to regain health.

Chiropractors treat all kinds of physical conditions arising from the human body frame, namely the neuro-musculo-skeletal system. Special emphasis is put on the structure and function of the spinal column, the bony protective housing of the central nervous system as well as the central axis of all vertebrate animals. Proper functioning of the spine requires the synchronized movement of some 30 vertebral bones and close to 100 inter-connecting joints. Further, malfunction of individual segments may compromise the function of the nerves emerging from the corresponding level, hence affecting the function of the respective body parts.
