Chiropractic is a hands-on approach most often used for neuromusculoskeletal complaints, such as back and neck pain, joint pain, and headaches.
The hallmark of chiropractic care is the chiropractic adjustment. The purpose of the adjustment is to restore joint position and mobility by manually applying a controlled force to a restricted joint. The hallmark of chiropractic care is the "spinal manipulation", which is also called a "chiropractic adjustment."
This restores proper function, relieves pressure on the surrounding nerves, reduces pain and muscle tightness, and allows tissues to heal. There are over 20 different adjusting techniques, which can be used alone or in combination.
