In modern medicine, a chiropractice refers to a set of treatment techniques allowing treating the spine, muscles and joints, as well as eliminating the diseases of internal organs by hands. Here we mention only the techniques we use every day. Chiropractice emerged from common (bone setting) and alternative medicine. In 1958, representatives of official medicine from six European countries, who applied osteopathic and chiropractic techniques in their work, established a new school – International Federation of Manual Medicine, where only certified therapists could be the members. Such methods of treatment got recognised in 1997 in Belarus.
According to statistics, only 0.95% of people over 40 have a healthy flexible spine. The recent sociological survey showed that only one respondent out of 1795 admitted that he/she had never had back pain in his/her life.
