Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on the relationship and connection between the spine and nervous system, and the body’s functioning. The position of the spinal column is adjusted to its proper alignment in order to improve function, supporting the body’s natural ability to heal itself, as well as alleviate a wide variety of physical ailments including back pain, neck pain, muscle strain and more. Chiropractors help patients maintain optimal health, and provide a non-invasive solution for relief while avoiding unnecessary drugs or surgery.
The word “chiropractic” means “to be done by hand.” It combines the Greek words cheir (hand) and praxis (practice) to describe this hands-on therapy.
