The World Health Organization defines Chiropractic as the health science concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disorders of the neuro-musculo-skeletal system and their effects on general health. Chiropractic is based on manual techniques, the specific manual adjustment of vertebral subluxations being a unique feature of our profession.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Multiple scientific studies support its benefits in the treatment of migraines, headaches, neck pain, muscle tension, back pain, sciatica, sports injuries, etc. It is important to note that chiropractic is not limited to palliative care, but is very effective in both wellness and prevention of these conditions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Chiropractic in the world\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

Chiropractic, with a minimum of 5,500 hours of education, is legally recognized and regulated in about 40 countries, thanks to the Councils of Chiropractic Education International (CCEI).<\/span><\/p>

Indeed, the unqualified practice of chiropractic remains a major problem in some countries without regulatory legislation, such as Brazil, Korea, Japan or here in Spain, where its practice is exempt from VAT since April 2020 and, therefore, recognized as health care by the Treasury. On our website www.quiropracticofeliu.com you will find a file prepared by the Spanish Chiropractic Association that gathers multiple articles that confirm the scientific evidence related to the practice of chiropractic.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

It is becoming more and more common that not only elite athletes (Usain Bolt, Tiger Woods or Michael Jordan among many others), but also individuals and companies are using chiropractic to improve their quality of life and that of their workers, avoiding injuries and ailments, and improving their performance, productivity and job satisfaction.<\/span><\/p>

Low back pain: one of the main causes of sick leave<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

A series of studies published by the prestigious journal The Lancet in March shed light on how we treat low back pain<\/b>, which affects 80%<\/b> of the adult population at some point in their lives, has an annual prevalence of about 15-45%, and is currently the leading cause of disability worldwide among people of working age<\/b>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

In addition, according to the latest report of the National Health System of the Ministry of Health (November 2020), disorders of the lumbar region are the cause of 25% of sick leave in Spain, information that contrasts with the figures of the Asociaci\u00f3n de Mutuas de Accidentes de Trabajo – AMAT (Association of Mutual Insurance Companies for Accidents at Work).<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
