Chiropractic is a healthcare profession centered around the spine and other joints, emphasizing their relationship to the nervous system. The term "chiropractic" is derived from the Greek words meaning "to be done by hand." Chiropractors utilize manual adjustments to restore joint function and support the nervous system, promoting optimal health without the need for drugs or surgery. In fact, approximately 50 million Americans seek chiropractic care annually.
A chiropractor serves as a primary care doctor specializing in spinal health and overall well-being. Their practice encompasses the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of spine-related disorders and other painful joint conditions. Beyond adjustments, chiropractors offer soft-tissue therapies, lifestyle recommendations, fitness coaching, and nutritional guidance.
A chiropractic adjustment involves a safe, controlled force applied to a joint to regain proper function and mobility. Factors like accidental falls, stress, or overexertion can adversely affect your spine and other joints, impacting tissues, the nervous system, and overall body function. If left untreated, these issues can escalate into chronic problems. Chiropractic adjustments alleviate pain, enhance mobility, and boost performance.
