Chiropractic
Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal system, the nervous system, and the effects of these disorders on general health. The spine protects the spinal cord, which together with the brain make up the central nervous system. Spinal dysfunction results in nerve signal interference and muscle tone imbalance. Chiropractic care is used most often to treat neuromusculoskeletal complaints, including but not limited to back pain, neck pain, pain in the joints of the arms or legs, and headaches.
