CAM really stands for Complementary and Alternative Medicine. Debate rages, some chiropractors are happy with Complementary to medicine, others feel we are definitely an Alternative, and others want to be part of mainline medicine.
I hedge my bets. We certainly offer an alternative to the usual medical approach of drugs and surgery, but in reality we also stand alongside medicine. And it wouldn't bother me if we became part of mainline medicine, provided we retain an element of independence. Like dentists do.

About 200 000 people die EVERY YEAR in the USA from unsuitable medicines, or a bad reaction to a drug, a misdiagnosis, the wrong dose... That's because America consumes about 50% of the world's pharmaceuticals. That's enough people to fill a moderate size city, who die EVERY YEAR. And South Africa is following the same trend... This is known as Iatrogenic Illness or doctor-caused disease.
IATROGENIC ILLNESS ...
In chiropractic we are not in principle against drugs, but we are committed to keeping our patients off painkillers and anti inflammatory drugs. One part of the solution is, simply and deliciously, Walking Benefits.
ANTI INFLAMMATORY DRUGS ... dangerous.
Head neck pain, headaches, migraine headaches, jaw joint pain, all DEMAND that you take on a regular on-going basis large quantities of medicines. Chiropractic believes it has a cogent alternative to offer: When possible find the cause of your headaches and treat the cause rather than the symptoms of your pain.
A widely recognised cause of headaches is the so-called the Cervical Facet syndrome. These are small joints in the neck (such as the Atlanto Occipital Joint) which may become jammed up, or fixated, irritating one of the large nerves travelling to the scalp. The solution? Headache Chiropractic, of course. Or, one of the alternative solutions. Just a good massage can do wonders too.
CERVICAL FACET SYNDROME ...
Shoulder pain is often, though not always related to subluxations in the lower neck or first rib which causes the so-called Thoracic Outlet syndrome.
THORACIC OUTLET SYNDROME ...
Probably the most difficult shoulder condition faced in the chiropractic clinic is the so-called Frozen Shoulder. The capsule of the shoulder becomes tightened and shrinks causing severe shoulder pain which disturbs every aspect of life, including sleep. The key is prevention. Don't let a shoulder problem turn into a frozen shoulder, you will have hell. Get to your chiropractor sooner, rather than later if you are having shoulder pain.
FROZEN SHOULDER ...
These rotator cuff strengthening exercises work like a treat if you have torn or strained a muscle in your shoulder...

CHIROPRACTIC HELP QUESTIONS
Something puzzling you? What to submit a question? We try but don't promise to answer your questions. Give rather too much than too little detail. "Can Chiropractic help me with a slipped disc?" is far too vague. Where? When? Injury? Radiating pain?

And there are a number of other hip conditions like Femero Acetabular Impingement Syndrome and Hereditary Hip Dysplasia that we are now finding are far more treatable with chiropractic than previously thought. Neglected, they lead unerringly to hip arthritis.
The health of the hyaline cartilage that lines all the bones in your joints is utterly dependent on the right nutrients. Many of them, but recently scientistists have identified the Omega-3 essential fatty acids in fatty fish (read more about Mackerel recipes ) and flax seed, and walnuts, and butternut as crucial to the health of your joints.
