Breaking down the word “Chiropractic”

Chiropractor Vero Beach, Fl.- The word chiropractic basically describes what a chiropractor does.  Chiro means hand.  That what a chiropractor does, works with their hands in order to help individuals with their ailments.   In Greek, praktikos means ‘practical’, from prattein ‘to do’. Works with hands to do.  Chiropractors apply manipulations in order to help people with an injury or the symptoms that come from that injury.  We manipulate the spine and extremities (arms, legs, feet and hands) to restore normal motion to areas where the motion has become restricted.  So, if your doc is not manipulating you, they are not practicing chiropractic.  That’s what we are taught to do.  Dr. Thomas Harmody is a chiropractor at Vero Walk-In Chiropractic and Wellness in Vero Beach, Fl.
