Chiropractic therapy

Manual medicine, together with chirotherapy (from ancient Greek χείρ cheir 'hand'), is a medical school that is used for treatment when functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system cause symptoms.

Since findings and treatment are carried out exclusively by hand, manual medicine is differentiated from invasive and medicinal medicine. In some areas it builds on the methods of chiropractic and osteopathy, but is part of the critical-rational conventional medicine.
