A Modern, Holistic View of an Ancient Healing Art
American chiropractic is now one of the best-known holistic health methods— yet many people still don’t truly understand what it is. Chiropractic is far more than a back technique or a quick “crack.” It combines elements of ancient healing traditions, the latest findings in modern neuroscience, and targeted work on the nervous system to bring the body back into balance in a sustainable way.
At Chirolounge Munich, three experienced chiropractors (Robert Kastenberger, Craig Osborne, Tanja Mujdzic) have been helping people improve their health holistically, reduce discomfort, and gain long-term quality of life for many years. Their expertise and individual, nervous-system-oriented approach help people experience the true value of American chiropractic every day.
Chiropractic – An Ancient Idea in a New Form
Long before the word “chiropractic” existed, its underlying principle was already present in various cultures:
Tibet, Ayurveda, traditional Chinese medicine, and the healing practices of Native Americans all knew forms of bone-setting – the idea that the spine plays a central role in health.
The Palmers – Founders of Modern Chiropractic
Daniel David Palmer and his son B. J. Palmer combined ancient knowledge with modern observation and developed a clearly defined profession. They created a structure that still forms the foundation of American chiropractic today.
One Cause, One Cure – The Central Idea
A disturbance in the spine—the subluxation—can impair communication within the nervous system. It affects mobility, tension, and perception. When the blockage is released, the body’s self-regulation improves.
Mechanical Model + Holistic Model – The Integration
Mechanics explain the structure. Holism explains the function. American chiropractic connects both levels: every adjustment has both structural and neurological effects. It improves movement and the way the brain perceives the body.
The Spine as a Sensitive Sensory Organ
The spine responds to stress, emotions, and physical strain, shaping our posture. It acts as a resonance organ that reflects our inner state—and its condition, in turn, influences how we experience the world.
Modern Neuroscience & Dr. Heidi Haavik
Dr. Heidi Haavik researches how the spine and brain work together.
Her studies show:
- Adjustments change brain activity.
- The nervous system receives clearer signals.
- Coordination, posture, and movement control improve.
- Neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to reorganize itself—is supported.
A subluxation is also a neurological pattern. When it is released, communication throughout the entire system improves. Patients often feel lighter, more coordinated, and clearer—because their brain is functioning more precisely. On our YouTube channel, you can find simple explanatory videos on American chiropractic.
Conclusion
American chiropractic combines ancient healing wisdom, modern neurology, precise technique, and holistic awareness.
Mechanics + Holism + Neuroscience = Modern Chiropractic.
