Jakarta - According to the official website of American Chiropractic Associaton (ACA), chiropractic is a health profession that focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal system and nerve system.
Most of chiropractic is often used to treat musculoskeletal disorders,
including back pain, neck pain, pain in the joints of the arms or legs, and
headaches.
Doctors who specialize in chiropractic practice approach to drug-free or
without using a drugs. Same as the treatment of other diseases, in surmount the
problem of spine, chiropractic doctor’s duty is health treatment includes
patient examination, diagnosis and therapy.
Fitting for a chiropractic doctor should have a broad diagnostic skills and
trained to provide healing recommendation such as training therapeutic and
rehabilitative. Furthermore they are also equipped sciences to provide diet
counseling related to the diagnosis of the patient.
In that site explained that chiropractic treatment is rarely causes
discomfort or pain in patients. Although, it’s still considered normal if patients
occasionally feel slight pain or pain after treatment (especially if the
treatment is some exercise). If provided with proper exercise, the pain should
heal within 12-48 hours thereafter.
In providing diagnosis and determine the patient’s therapy, chiropractic
doctors shouldn’t be indiscriminate. Several clinical examination are needed,
including laboratory tests, x-rays and other diagnostic interventions. If it’s
found that the results of the examination that the patient is not suitable for
the chiropractic treatment, then doctor should refer the patient to the
appropriate doctor.
If this practice is considered official in the United States, then another
case in Indonesia. According to the consultant spine of Fatmawati Hospital, Dr.
Lutfi Gatam, SpOT (K), this practice isn’t known in medicine until now.
“What I know, chiropractic isn’t included in the nomenclature on medicine,
especially orthopedics. Sign diagnostic nor, let alone action”, said Dr. Lutfi,
Thursay (7/1/2016).
Because it isn’t known in orthopedics (the medical with bone and joint
specialist), then chiropractic therapy has never been a reference for doctor to
treat patients. "There's never been a suggestion to refer patients to
chiropractic," said Dr. Lutfi.
As informed earlier, the death Allya Siska Nadya some time ago that the
alleged malpractice committed by therapists from the United States, Dr. Randall
Cafferty, at Chiropractic First at Pondok Indah Mall (PIM) 1.
