The Chiropractic profession was developed independently since its discovery by D.D.Palmer in 1895, and approaches the age-long problem of disease from an entirely new and drugless concept. The Greeks in their healing sanctuaries (ASCLEPIA) 2000 years ago used the same principles as today but called it (Rachiotherapy) meaning “back care or spine care). The basic premise of the drugless Chiropractic healing method is based upon the relation between the spinal column (which consists of 24 movable vertebrae together with the skull and the Pelvic girdle) and the Central Nervous System which in turn is in control of ALL functions of the human body. 

Considering that the Central Nervous system which has its headquarters as the brain and has under its control every cell in our bodies and directs their physiological function resulting in good health, it is possible that any of the 24 vertebrae may move to disrupt this healthy communication by impinging on nerves from the spine resulting in dis-function of any part of our body which then would result as disease. This reversed condition of the vertebrae is called in the Chiropractic profession a vertebral SUBLUXATION. These subluxations are adjusted by the chiropractor painlessly by hand which in turn restores normal flow of vital nerve energy to the ailing part of the body wherever it may be and restores health. The Cranial Bones, upper extremity and lower extremity of the human body may subluxate and these too can be adjusted in a painless manner. In Cyprus there are 12 registered chiropractors all members of the Cyprus Chiropractic Association which in turn is represented by the European Chiropractors Union and the world Federation of Chiropractic.
