CHIROPRACTIC

Chiropractic is a manual approach to health care which includes patient assessment, diagnosis and treatment. In particular, chiropractors assess patients for disorders related to the spine, pelvis, and extremity joints, as well as their effect on the nervous system. As a result of taking a patient history and performing a physical assessment, chiropractors are able to provide a differential diagnosis for the patient's presenting condition(s) and develop a comprehensive treatment plan.

A chiropractic adjustment is the art of using a specific force in a precise direction to a joint that is restricted. This helps to free up the joint so that it can again move properly. The result is improved muscle, joint, and nervous system function. A strong emphasis is also placed on rehabilitation exercises especially in long standing or recurring problems.
