Chiropractic care is a form of healthcare that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders, especially those related to the spine, without the use of drugs or surgery. Chiropractors use a variety of techniques to manipulate the spine, joints, and other soft tissues to alleviate pain and improve mobility.
Chiropractic care can effectively treat a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including back pain, neck pain, headaches, joint pain, and sports injuries. It can also help improve posture, reduce inflammation, and enhance overall well-being.
