In the state of New York the practice of the profession of chiropractic is defined as detecting and correcting by manual or mechanical means structural imbalance, distortion, or subluxations in the human body for the purpose of removing nerve interference and the effects thereof, where such interference is the result of or related to distortion, misalignment or subluxation of, or in, the vertebral column.
A chiropractic subluxation is defined as a joint that has lost some of its normal movement resulting in biomechanical changes, vascular changes, connective tissue changes and most importantly, neurological changes.
