What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a primary healthcare profession that focuses on the diagnosis/treatment/prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, particularly those related to the spine.
The central philosophy of chiropractic care is that the health of the spine and the function of the nervous system are closely linked. When joints in the spine aren't moving correctly (often called "dysfunction"), it can lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced performance.
