Chiropractors are licensed healthcare professionals who focus on diagnosing and treating disorders of the musculoskeletal and nervous systems, particularly those related to spinal alignment. Their primary method of treatment is spinal manipulation or chiropractic adjustment, a hands-on technique used to restore mobility, relieve pain, and improve function. By correcting misalignments (subluxations), chiropractors aim to support the body’s natural ability to heal itself without surgery or pharmaceuticals. They take a holistic view of health, often evaluating lifestyle habits, ergonomics, posture, and physical activity to address the root cause of discomfort. Chiropractors commonly treat conditions such as lower back pain, neck pain, headaches, joint issues, and sports injuries, but their care also extends to preventive wellness and performance optimization. In addition to adjustments, they may use soft tissue therapies, stretching, exercise plans, and guidance on nutrition and stress management. As part of integrative healthcare teams, chiropractors frequently collaborate with physicians, physical therapists, and other wellness professionals to deliver well-rounded, patient-centered care. Their natural, drug-free approach appeals to individuals seeking non-invasive options for pain relief and long-term health. With growing public interest in holistic and functional health, chiropractic care continues to gain recognition for its role in improving quality of life and enhancing overall physical well-being.
