CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Chiropractic care is a natural, non-invasive healthcare approach that focuses on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal disorders, particularly those related to the spine. Chiropractors use hands-on spinal adjustments and other techniques to help align the body's musculoskeletal structure, particularly the spine, allowing the body to heal itself without the need for surgery or medication.
The Principles of Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care is based on the belief that proper spinal alignment contributes to overall health and wellness. The nervous system, which controls every function in the body, is directly connected to the spine. Any misalignment (subluxation) can interfere with nerve function, leading to pain, discomfort, and other health problems. By correcting these misalignments, chiropractors aim to restore balance, improve mobility, and enhance overall well-being.

Chiropractors treat a variety of conditions, including:
-
