MILAN (ITALPRESS) – Chiropractic is a discipline born at the end of the nineteenth century in the United States that deals with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, with particular attention to the spine and its relations with the nervous system: chiropractic is based on the idea that many painful and functional disorders arise from alterations of joint mobility and that their recovery can promote a better balance. Treatment is mainly based on manual, rapid and controlled technical specifications, including the most known is vertebral manipulation or chiropractic adjustment. “Chiropractice has a holistic approach, that is, it looks at the body in its entirety trying to identify the interferences of the vertebral subluxations: these can compromise the connection between brain, nerve and muscle, but also between brain, nerve and organ – said Alessandro Trabattoni, professional chiropractor with a study in Como, interviewed by Marco Klinger for Top Medicine, TV format of the Italpress press agency -. The body in the chiropractic is considered as an equilateral triangle, in which we have a structural and emotional base and through these channels we try to understand what is the fundamental problem: not necessarily all the problems arise from a structural problem, although in most cases it is so”.
In the collective imagination, Trabattoni explains, “Chiropratico has always been considered a sort of sorcerer, but in recent years the judgement is changing: in 2024 a series of articles have emerged that consider vertebral manipulation as the main therapeutic help, without use of drugs, for the care of the lombalgia and cervicalgia, especially in the restoration of a malposition of the gross curve; moreover there have been evidences regarding the fact that For a patient who turns to such a professional, he continues, “the greater need is linked to cervicalgies, sciatica, backache or simply because he does not feel well but does not understand how to intervene: in the latter case, most often depends on a postural imbalance. Chiropractics cannot cure everything, simply restores the balance of the human body: however, when there are, for example, fresh fractures cannot intervene in any way and the same happens when there are instability of vertebral character of the joints or when there is a high osteoporosis. First the chiropractic was challenged as the last beach, but now the patients begin to come also in a perspective of prevention because they understand that a symmetrical body works much better: the figure of the chiropratico in the sport has been introduced precisely to prevent accidents”.
Trabattoni then focuses on the specificity of its activity: “I specialize in particular on the correlation between dental occlusion and spine: according to how I hear my patients understand if there may be an occlusal interference in relation to the column, then I ask a number of questions about the historian of his traumas also youthful. If a person is well enough, but comes in terms of prevention, a main analysis is done and then a weekly activity program is given, then monthly, then bi-monthly until six months: instead, in front of scenarios like acute sciatalgia in the early days you have to see the patient more frequently.” Last but not least, the chiropractor returns to the narratives not always correct with regard to the discipline, pointing out that “there is not so much a distrust as a misinformation, fed over the years: colleagues are not very informed about what we really do and the path of studies we have; they think we have become so because we are good at maneuvering the column but it is not true, because the human body we know it a lot.”.
