What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a healthcare discipline that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. Chiropractors aim to enhance joint function and alleviate pain through various techniques including education, spinal and extremity adjustments, mobilizations, soft tissue therapy, rehabilitation exercises and additional modalities.
The practice of chiropractic is guided by evidence-based principles that emphasize the importance of integrating the best available research with clinical expertise and patient values.
