Chiropractic
Chiropractors treat problems of the musculoskeletal system using
natural healing methods and manual manipulation. Based on the principle
that spinal joint misalignments interfere with the nervous and immune systems,
chiropractors work to correct the underlying musculoskeletal problems that may
cause or contribute to other diseases or conditions. By bringing the body into
better alignment, they help diminish pain and enhance health.
Chiropractors take a holistic view of treatment and may recommend exercise,
dietary changes, and other lifestyle changes as part of the treatment of the
patient.
