Treatment: Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care is an alternative health discipline focusing on the musculoskeletal system, specifically the spine, and involving manual therapy. Chiropractic care is often used to help ease various types of pain. Chiropractic care or chiropractic therapy may be used to manage low back pain, fibromyalgia, headaches, stress, neck pain, and other types of chronic pain. Chiropractic care, also called spinal manipulation, is performed by a chiropractor and involves using the hands to move and manipulate a joint and improve function in the joint. A chiropractor may gently push, pull, or twist on the spine to adjust the bones. Chiropractic care may also involve heat therapy, ultrasound, or electrical stimulation to promote relaxation prior to adjusting the spine.
