What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic care is a healthcare discipline focused on diagnosing and treating neuromuscular disorders, with emphasis on treatment through manual adjustment and manipulation of the spine. Chiropractors aim to reduce pain, improve functionality, and support the body's natural ability to heal itself without surgery or medication.

How Does Chiropractic Work?

Chiropractors use hands-on spinal manipulation and other alternative treatments to properly align the body's musculoskeletal structure, particularly the spine. This alignment enables the body to heal itself without surgery or medication. Manipulation is used to restore mobility to joints restricted by tissue injury caused by traumatic events or repetitive stress.
