Chiropractic care is a non-invasive healthcare practice that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of neuromuscular disorders, with a particular emphasis on spinal adjustments and manipulations. Chiropractors believe that misalignments of the spine can cause a variety of health problems by interfering with the nervous system. By using a variety of techniques, including adjustments, massage, and other therapies, chiropractors aim to alleviate pain, restore mobility, and promote overall wellness.

Chiropractic care can be effective in treating a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including back pain, neck pain, headaches, sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, and sports injuries. Additionally, chiropractic care may help with other health issues, such as digestive problems, asthma, and allergies.
