A Chiropractor is a health care professional that focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal and nervous system, and the effects of these disorders on general health.  Doctors of Chiropractic practice a drug-free, hands-on approach to health care that includes patient examination, diagnosis and treatment. Chiropractors have broad diagnostic skills and are also trained to recommend therapeutic and rehabilitative exercises, as well as to provide nutritional, dietary and lifestyle counseling.



​The most common therapeutic procedure performed by a Chiropractor is known as “spinal manipulation,” also called “chiropractic adjustment”.  The technique involves the chiropractor applying thrusts of varying speed and forces to joints in the body that are causing dysfunction and related pain. Often described as a “cracking” sound, there is a misconception that bones are being crushed or grinded against each other. The associated noise that is often heard is simply gas bubbles being released due to negative pressure.



Research continues to prove and discover that chiropractic treatment is safe and effective for treating not only the common headache and lower back pain but also conditions that include babies who suffer from colic, people with asthma or high blood pressure as well as conditions such as fibromyalgia.



With chiropractors registered in countries all over the world and over 30 million people visiting a chiropractor each year in the USA alone, this popular global profession is an effective and drug-free     way to achieve and maintain a healthy life.
