Naprapathy (Czech náprava, correction - from napravit, to correct) - is a branch of alternative medicine, a manipulative therapy, that focuses on the evaluation and treatment of neuro-musculoskeletal conditions.[citation needed]

History

Naprapathy was founded in the early 1900s by Dr Oakley Smith, an early chiropractor, who called his manual medical technique naprapathy. It is a derivative of osteopathy and chiropractic, which focuses on spine and subluxations.[citation needed] Naprapaths working with the spine emphasize the underlying ligaments.[1]
