Modern Naturopathy History and Chiropathy


Onset of Naturopathy

You must have heard a lot about Naturopathy Treatment in Delhi but are you aware when did the movement actually started? It basically flourished in Europe during the early 1800s. Mr. Vincent Priessnitz was among the first practitioners who used elements of nature being water, air, exercise, and diet to treat the diseases.

What is Chiropathy?

Chiropathy, on the other hand, is an entirely different form of alternative medicine. It is majorly concerned with diagnosing and treating the mechanical and musculoskeletal disorders especially the ones that are related to the spine. Researchers are of the viewpoint that these disorders put an impact on the general health of a person via the nervous system. The technique of chiropathy emerged around 123 years ago and it still continues to be a form of alternative medicine.

Decline and rise of naturopathy

Dr. Benedict Lust was a German chiropractor who emigrated to the US in 1892 and was also known as the first naturopathic physician of America. In the very start, he was mocked for his revolutionary ideas related to exercise, vegetarian diet and healthy living but later on started his first naturopathic college in New York during 1920s. The Naturopathic medicine thus grew through the 1910s and 1920s but they started receiving an immense pressure from pharma companies, politicians as well as other factors that led to their closure. This basically happened as the basis of naturopathy was the use of herbs, natural cure and adopting a holistic view of the body. This made the methods to be considered as unscientific whose base was some unproven folk tradition. The chiropractic colleges however flourished as they adhered with educational standards that were forced on them by the medical institution. However naturopathic medicine did not go away but was kept alive by many chiropractors who provided naturopathy degree in their colleges. At last a National College of Naturopathic Medicine was formed in Portland to keep the system of alternative medicine alive and it also began to rise.

Naturopathy and chiropathy should be on the same page

It is quite clear that both the techniques are forms of alternative medicine. Hence it is very essential for a naturopath to accept the general philosophy that is present behind chiropractic medicine. This assists in making sure that naturopath and chiropractors work on the same page in spite of having different ways of treatment.
