What is Chiropractic Care?
Chiropractors are spine, muscle and nervous system experts in assessing, diagnosing, treating and developing treatment plans to keep you moving and pain-free.
The spine, muscles, and nervous system support your weight, keep your body stable, protect your organs, and keep you moving.
It also connects directly to other vital systems in your body, which is why medical professionals, researchers, and the wider health community trust the spine care expertise of chiropractors to assess, diagnose, and treat conditions and injuries related to the spine, muscle, and nervous system.
