What is Chiropractic?

What Does a Chiropractor Do?

A chiropractor is a healthcare professional generally characterized as an alternative medicine or complementary medicine professional. Chiropractic healthcare is focused on the diagnosis and treatment of neuromuscular/skeletal disorders with an emphasis on the treatment through the adjustment of the spine. One of the main treatment goals that chiropractors seek is to reduce pain and to improve the functionality of patient's neck and back conditions. Another goal of chiropractic care is to educate patients on how they can manage their own health by exercise, ergonomics, and other home therapies that can be used to treat neck and back pain.

Chiropractic Fundamental Goals and Beliefs

Chiropractic care focuses on the intimate relationship between the spine and the nervous system.

  • For many conditions, chiropractic treatment can restore the structural integrity of the spine and reduce pressure on sensitive nerve tissue. By relieving this pressure, a patient's body can heal more effectively on its own and improve the health of the individual.
