Chiropractic is different from tit-tar and bone setting. Chiropractic have a very different origin, education, clinical training, and diagnostic methodologies. All chiropractors must complete a 4-year degree in chiropractic from an accredited college by the Councils on Chiropractic Education International (CCEI).
Most chiropractors in Malaysia are members of the Association of Chiropractic Malaysia (ACM) which is regulated under the Federation of Complementary and Natural Medical Associations, Malaysia (FCNMAM) which is governed by the Ministry of Health, Malaysia (MOH).
Chiropractic focuses primarily on the nerve-brain-body connection, especially the relationship between the spine and nervous system. Chiropractors corrects subluxations, which are by definition, misaligned bone, most commonly found in the spine. Chiropractic adjustments aim to remove interference to the nervous system, typically pressure on the spinal cord or nerves caused by subluxations.
