Allopathic typically: Refer to any individual with md at the end of his/her name, which attended a traditional medical school. Since chiropractors go to a chiropractic college and not a medical school with mds, "nonallopathic lesion" is just a way for a chiropractor to document a segment that requires adjustment. I am not sure if there are any chiropractors on this site to add commentary?

ICD coding system: The AMA has developed an international coding system for conditions. a non-allopathic lesion in the ICD manuals, is often referred to as Segmental Dysfunction or joints that are not moving correctly. Doctors of Chiropractic are the only profession that is specifically trained to identify and reduce these lesions.
