Chiropractic as a profession has been around for over 125 years, when it began in Davenport, Iowa by a healer named D.D. Palmer.  He speculated that manipulation of the joints of the body not only relieved back pain, but also could address other health problems because of manipulation’s effect on the nervous system.  He created the first chiropractic college, Palmer College of Chiropractic, in Davenport, where it continues today as the flagship chiropractic school.  Chiropractic education is recognized by the federal government as an accredited program and chiropractic treatment itself is recognized by all major insurance companies as a valid form of healing that is reimbursable. Current research shows the value of chiropractic adjustments in their ability to restore optimum joint function, to reduce pain, and to facilitate healing.  Research is ongoing, continuing to demonstrate that chiropractic is an effective and exceptionally safe treatment for all ages.  Chiropractic has become a mainstream profession whose practitioners hold a doctorate level degree following four years of undergraduate training and four years of chiropractic training, including clinical studies.  Chiropractors must pass rigorous national and state board examinations before being allowed to practice.  Most recently, in New Mexico, laws were created providing certification to allow specially trained chiropractors to practice natural injections therapies and to prescribe medications from a limited formulary.  This has expanded what chiropractic can offer the public.  The chiropractic profession continues to move forward towards becoming primary care physicians with full prescriptive rights.

Chiropractic treatment concerns itself with determining the functionality of joints, soft tissues, and the nervous system, and the correction of any dysfunction found through the use of manipulative techniques, commonly called adjustments.  These adjustments can be provided to any joint, such as elbows, knees, ankles, and shoulders, in addition to the spinal column.  Because of the positive effect of the adjustments on the nervous system, inflammation, and pain, as well as other health issues such as digestive problems, for example, often resolve.

“I had the honor of being seen today by Dr.Perlstein, I was having some back issues and was in need of an adjustment. I tried everything I could at home. I made my condition worse if anything. He explained what and how. He made me feel very comfortable. He knew what I had been experiencing, all I had to do was nod yes. For my very first time being at Family Chiropractic Center of Santa Fe for my very first time being at a chiropractor’s office he did one heck of a job. I’m scheduled to go back. I highly recommend this office to and for the whole family.” ~ Maria E.
