What is Chiropractics?
Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on disorders of the neuromusculoskeletal system and the effects that these disorders may have on general health. These neuromuscoloskeletal disorders include, but are not limited to, lower and mid-back pain, neck pain and stiffness, headaches, and/or pain radiating into the joints of the arms or legs.
Doctors of Chiropractic, or Chiropractic Physicians, are specifically referred to as Chiropractors. Chiropractors practice a drug-free, hands-on approach to healthcare that includes patient examination, X-ray evaluation, diagnosis and treatment. Chiropractors have unique diagnostic skills, are trained to recommend therapeutic and rehabilitative exercises, and also provide nutritional, dietary and lifestyle counseling
