WHAT IS CHIROPRACTIC?
Chiropractic is a branch of the healing arts that diagnoses and specifically treats injuries of the neuromusculoskeletal system (muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, discs
and nerves).
There is an intimate relationship between the structure of the body and the way it functions.
The chiropractor uses conservative physical medicine consisting of gentle manipulation in conjunction with other modalities and rehabilitative exercises to restore normal movement to the body.
Chiropractors are also highly trained in the fields of nutrition, exercise and lifestyle modification, the application of which can assist patients to achieve optimal health and well being throughout.
The chiropractor is charged with the responsibility of determining the underlying cause of a patient’s complaints. When appropriate, patients will be referred
for diagnostic testing and/or specialty consultation.
