A chiropractor is practitioners of chiropractic who normally use their hands to treat bone, joint and muscle disorder. Chiropractic is a health profession that is concerned with the treatment, diagnosis, and prevention of musculoskeletal system disorders and the effects of these disorders on function of the nervous system and general health. There are two types of chiropractors which include straight and mixers. Straights strictly adhere to original teachings about subluxations and the innate intelligence and are skeptical about germ theory and vaccination. They believe that chiropractic therapy can heal about 95% of diseases. Mixers only claim to help with the back and neck problems and are the best, and this is the main method used in Edmonton, Canada.

Chiropractic originated from US in 1895 as a health profession. it was founded by a Canadian called Palmer, who rarely had conventional medical training.
