What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a health care profession that emphasizes diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system.
Chiropractic focus on correcting restricted and painful joints which can impact the way muscles and nerves communicate to each other which can eventually result in pain and injury.
People of all ages and with any health status chose Chiropractic care every day to help them regain and improve their health naturally without the use of medications.
The main chiropractic treatment technique involves manual therapy, including manipulation of the spine, other joints, and soft tissues therapy. Treatment also includes exercises as well as health and lifestyle advice.
