Chiropractic care is a non-invasive, manual primary healthcare profession founded on diagnosing and treating neuromusculoskeletal disorders. Chiropractors apply manual adjustments such as spinal manipulations plus other therapeutic techniques in order to correct alignments in the spine, enhance joint mobility, and restore normal balance to the body. Chiropractic care is therefore primarily aimed at making it easier for the body to heal itself, thus avoiding medications or surgery.
