About Chiropractic

Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal and nervous systems, and the effects of their disorders on general health.

Chiropractic care is used most often to treat neuromusculoskeletal complaints, including but not limited to back pain, neck pain, pain in the joints of the arms or legs, and headaches.

Doctors of Chiropractic – often referred to as chiropractors or chiropractic physicians – practice a drug-free, hands-on approach to health care that includes patient examination, diagnosis and treatment.

Chiropractors have broad diagnostic skills. They are trained to recommend therapeutic and rehabilitative exercises, as well as to provide nutritional, dietary and lifestyle counseling.

In summary, Chiropractic is about health and healing, centering on the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system and their interrelationship.  Doctors in this discipline are skilled in the diagnosis and treatment of dysfunction and injuries involving the spine, joints, muscles, and nervous system.
