In her speech, Ibu Uchu said that “the profession of a chiropractor needs to be introduced to the children of Indonesia, because in everyday life, we have to know the world of medicine. Chiropractic is a system of complementary medicine based on the diagnosis and manipulative treatment of misalignments of the joints, especially those of the spinal column, with the hypothesis that these disorders affect health via the nervous system. Chiropractic is a well-established health profession in the United States, Canada and Australia, being the third largest medical profession in these countries, after general practitioners and dentists. This profession is now becoming well-known among people in Indonesia”, said Uchu Riza.

The establishment has an area of ​​3.21 m² and a capacity of four. Children will perform the role of chiropractic practitioner during 25 minutes. After finishing the activity, young chiropractors will earn a salary of 15 kidZos.
