What Chiropractors do?
Chiropractors are healthcare professionals who specialize in diagnosing and treating
disorders of the musculoskeletal system, with a particular focus on the spine.
They use a hands-on approach to manipulate the spine and other joints, aiming to
improve alignment, mobility, and overall function. This involves applying controlled force
to specific areas of the body to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and restore proper
nerve function.
In addition to spinal adjustments, chiropractors may incorporate other therapies such as
soft tissue techniques, therapeutic exercises, and lifestyle counseling into their
treatment plans. They often emphasize the importance of proper posture, ergonomics,
and exercise to prevent future injuries and maintain optimal musculoskeletal health.
While chiropractors primarily treat back and neck pain, they may also assist with a wide
range of conditions, including headaches, migraines, disc injuries, sciatica and TMJ
disorders.
Overall, chiropractors strive to provide natural, non-invasive solutions to help patients
achieve and maintain optimal health.
