What Does a Chiropractor Do?

Chiropractors specialize in diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal issues, primarily those related to the spine. They use hands-on spinal adjustments and other manual techniques to improve the function of the spine and alleviate discomfort. Spinal adjustments can help restore joint mobility, reduce pain, and improve physical function. This treatment is often sought for conditions such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, or sciatica. By realigning the body's musculoskeletal structure, particularly the spine, chiropractors aim to enable the body to heal itself without surgery or medication. They may also provide guidance on lifestyle changes and exercises to support overall health and prevent future injuries.
