System of medicine based on the idea that many diseases are due to displacement of connective tissues (e.g., ligaments, tendons) and that manipulation of these tissues will bring relief.<\/p>\n

\n

A system of gentle therapeutic manipulations of the skeletal system, the ligaments, muscles, and other connective tissues; a form of applied kinesiology. Naprapathy is based on the idea that many ailments and the pain associated with them are caused by a misalignment of the skeletal system. Naprapathic therapy focuses on areas of the body that have become stiff from tension, stress, bad posture, overwork, poor diet, and other environmental factors. The goal of naprapathic therapy is to restore energy and improve the circulatory system throughout the body, thereby aiming for a state of perfect health.<\/p>\n

\n

A system of medicine based on the belief that a great many diseases are attributable to displacement of ligaments, tendons, and other connective tissues and that cure can be brought about only by manipulation to correct these displacements.<\/p>\n

\n

The use of electrical stimulation of the body, topical application of heat and cold, manipulation, massage, nutritional counseling, stretching, and ultrasonography to improve neuromuscular and connective tissue diseases. Practitioners of naprapathy are called naprapaths. The first school of naprapathy was founded in the U.S. in 1907 by Dr. Oakley Smith.<\/p>\n
