.How Do I Find A Chiropractor?

Chiropractic is a professional health care discipline that emphasizes diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine.  Chiropractors understand that one of the main causes of pain and disease is the misalignment of the vertebrae and the abnormal motion that misalignment creates in the spinal column called a “subluxation.”  Chiropractic works by removing these subluxations in the spine, thereby removing irritation and pressure on the nerves, restoring mobility in the joints and ultimately returning the body back to a state of normal function. The main chiropractic treatment technique is known as “spinal manipulation” (also called “adjustment”).   The purpose of manipulations is to restore joint mobility by manually applying controlled forces into joints that have become restricted.  The chiropractic approach to healthcare addresses overall health and well being and many chiropractors utilize exercise and postural education techniques, as well as health and lifestyle counseling,  Many chiropractors also offer massage and physical therapy services.
