Correcting body shape with US certified non-surgery chiropractic
Chiropractic is a form of alternative medicine for remedial treatment especially of spine. It was introduced by western doctors in the advanced countries such as US, Canada and Australia. It sees exercise and nutritional management as part of treatment methods as nerves, muscles and skeletal structures are organically connected each other and affects our health. Director Dr. William Choi of Ideal Wellness Center said “Chiropractic is the abbreviation of ‘chiro’ meaning hands and ‘practice’ meaning treatments. For this reason, chiropractic uses hands to correct muscles, nerves and skeletal structures in the body. Like an untuned musical instrument makes bad sound, a warped skeletal structure can cause problems in our nerve and muscle systems.

Chiropractic also adjusts metabolic abilities between cranial and spinal nerves to maintain a sound body. People with spinal problems, pregnant women, babies & children and sports men can greatly benefit from Chiropractic.” Dr. Choi grew up in an oriental doctor family but went to the US to study architectural engineering at University of Illinois at Chicago. He then met a chiropractor and realized that the concept of chiropractic that manages the potential pain beforehand was similar to oriental medicine. One year before finishing his major in architectural engineering, Dr. Choi switched school to Logan College of Chiropractic. He was the first Asian receiving Best Intern Award (Student Doctor Award) in the history of the college since its establishment in 1935. Dr. Choi went back to Korea and opened Korea’s sole US AK (Applied Kinesiology), CBP (Chiropractic Biophysics), ART (Active Release Technique) certified spine correction center: Ideal Wellness Center. Dr. Choi introduced 3R Treatment System consisting of ‘Relaxation’ to release muscle fatigue and to balance the body, ‘Re-alignment’ to correct skeletal structure and ‘Re-education’ to manage the corrected body.
Other treatment programs of the center include pelvic correction after childbirth, sports injury, rolfing therapy and special care. The center is also running Scoliosis Center, Correction Center and Pain Care Center and the length of programs varies from 3 weeks to 36 weeks.
“Koreans’ recognition on chiropractic is urgent!”
Dr. Choi is a full member of ACA (US) and is serving as Vice Chairman of KAC (Korea). Dr. Choi is regarded as one of top chiropractors in the world as the famous musical teams such as ‘Chicago’ and ‘Crazy Horse’ received treatment from Dr. Choi before they give performance in Korea. However, Korean’s misunderstanding and lack of recognition on chiropractic makes just a few patients who know well about the concept of the treatment visit the center. Most of them are foreigners, political and economic figures and professionals. Chiropractic is an official medicine listed in WHO and advanced countries like the US, Canada and Australia recognize chiropractors as doctors. It is regretful that even Spinal Manipulation and Chuna Manual Therapy (hand massage) have a limited access to the public in Korea. Currently, there are about 30 licensed chiropractors in Korea but they are still not officially recognized as D.C. (Doctor of Chiropractic). The problem is that there are people who use this drawback and forge a certificate or run an unprofessional business. People must notice that overseas chiropractic degree clearly indicates the name ‘doctor’. Dr. Choi said “The US, for example, requires you to pass the courses of medical school to be qualified as chiropractic doctor. In other words, you have to finish a 3 year undergraduate course and a 4 year major course as well as 4 times of national board examinations to be licensed as a chiropractor.”

The good news is that Hanseo University is recognized as the sole chiropractic specialized university in Korea and Prof. Choi has been fostering talented students for the last 10 years. Also, Ideal Wellness Center has built a network with 11 chiropractic clinics in the world. Power Korea hopes that the Korean government and the medical circles recognize the value of chiropractic as soon as possible so that Dr. Choi, Ideal Wellness Center and Hanseo University together can be able to provide quality chiropractic services to more Korean people who suffer from spine problems and other related diseases.
