What Is Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractic care involves hands-on spinal manipulation and other therapies to address issues related to the spine and nervous system. Chiropractors focus on the alignment of the spine and how it affects the overall function of the body. By performing adjustments, chiropractors can reduce pain, improve mobility, and promote healing without the need for surgery or medication. It is often used to treat conditions like back pain, neck pain, and headaches, as well as support overall wellness.

How Does Chiropractic Care Work?

Chiropractors use manual adjustments to correct misalignments in the spine, also known as subluxations. These adjustments help relieve pressure on nerves, reduce inflammation, and improve mobility. During your visit, the chiropractor will evaluate your condition and create a personalized treatment plan that may include spinal adjustments, massage therapy, and corrective exercises. The adjustments are safe and tailored to each patient’s specific needs. Over time, these treatments help to restore function and prevent future injuries.
