Chiropractic
Chiropractic care is recommended for the treatment and prevention of neuromusculoskeletal disorders.
The role of the Chiropractor
Chiropractors use adjustments (spinal manipulation and joint mobilization) to restore normal joint function and mobility of the spine, reducing pressure on the spinal nerve and providing symptomatic relief to patients.
In addition to spinal manipulation and joint mobilization, chiropractors may use other treatment techniques, such as muscle techniques (trigger points), rehabilitation exercises, postural advice, etc.
