HCM City (VNA) - The American Chiropractic Clinic, the first facility of its kind in HCM City, officially opened on Sept. 15 after receiving its business and medical licenses last month.
Clinic director and chiropractor Wade Brackenbury said that "response from patients, both Vietnamese and foreign, had been tremendous so far".
He said that the century-old chiropractic therapy focuses on diagnosing, treating and preventing disorders of the muscular-skeletal system, which have an effect on the nervous system and on general health.
Brackenbury said the clinic would provide 12,000 USD worth of free treatment, twice weekly for four months, for 10 children aged between 6 and 12 suffering from cerebral palsy.
The HCM City Sponsorship Association for Poor Patients will select the children.
Brackenbury said cerebral palsy patients he had treated in other countries had benefited from reduced pain and increased mobility after chiropractic therapy.
He has practised chiropractic therepy for 11 years in more than 10 countries and territories, including the US, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, Japan and Taiwan.-Enditem
