What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a healthcare discipline that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of musculoskeletal disorders primarily focused on the spine. Chiropractors, licensed primary healthcare professionals, use a hands-on approach to address issues such as subluxations or misalignments in the spine. Subluxations or misalignments can affect the nervous system and overall health.
The core principle of chiropractic care is that proper alignment of the spine and musculoskeletal system is essential for the optimal functioning of the nervous system. Chiropractic is the use of manual adjustments or spinal manipulations which is applying controlled force to joints to improve their range of motion and alleviate pain.
Chiropractic care is not limited to spinal adjustments; it may also involve lifestyle, exercises, and stretching recommendations to enhance the effectiveness of the adjustments and promote overall well-being. Chiropractors may treat various conditions such as back and neck pain, joint issues, headaches, and nerve pain throughout the body.
