What is it?
Chiropractic is a healthcare approach that focuses on diagnosing and treating disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially those related to the spine. It is based on the belief that spinal health and the proper alignment of the body’s joints play a crucial role in overall health and well-being, particularly in relation to the nervous system.
The main treatment method used in chiropractic care is spinal manipulation or adjustment, where chiropractors use their hands to apply controlled, quick force to specific areas of the spine or other joints to improve alignment, mobility, and function. This is thought to help relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and promote healing by improving nerve function and restoring proper movement.
