What Is Chiropractic Care?

A Natural, Hands-On Approach to Pain Relief and Whole-Body Wellness

Chiropractic care focuses on restoring function and relieving pain by addressing issues related to the spine, joints, and nervous system—without the use of drugs or surgery.

Doctors of Chiropractic are trained to diagnose, treat, and help prevent disorders of the spine, joints, and nervous system. Whether you’re experiencing discomfort in your neck, back, pelvis, or extremities, chiropractic care offers a non-invasive, hands-on solution designed to restore mobility and reduce pain.

The primary technique used is the chiropractic adjustment—a controlled, precise movement applied to restricted joints to help correct dysfunction and improve range of motion.

In addition to spinal adjustments, your chiropractor may incorporate other therapeutic tools such as massage, laser therapy, heat, or ultrasound, depending on your specific condition. Chiropractors also take a whole-person approach to care by offering guidance on posture, nutrition, exercise, and healthy lifestyle choices. While they do not prescribe medications or perform surgery, chiropractors will refer to medical specialists when additional treatment is needed.
