Chiropractor

From WikiMD's Wellnesspedia

Chiropractor is a healthcare professional that treats disease by manipulation and adjustment of body structures, often the spine.

Conditions treated[edit | edit source]

Tests and procedures[edit | edit source]

Chiropractors believe that malfunctioning spinal joints and other somatic tissues interfere with a person’s neuromuscular system and can result in poor health.

Some chiropractors use procedures such as massage therapy, rehabilitative exercise, and ultrasound in addition to spinal adjustments and manipulation. They also may apply supports, such as braces or shoe inserts, to treat patients and relieve pain.

In addition to operating a general chiropractic practice, some chiropractors specialize in areas such as sports, neurology, orthopedics, pediatrics, or nutrition, among others.
