The practice of Chiropractic is a specialized health care approach that is based upon the relationship between how your body is structured and how it functions; with a greater focus on the role of the spine. A Chiropractic practitioner is called a Chiropractor.
Some Chiropractors use a wide variety of approaches for treatment but the primary focus would be to perform spinal adjustments, or adjustments to other areas of the body that would help correctly align the spine, thus supporting the natural ability of the body to heal itself.
