WHAT IS A CHIROPRACTOR?
A chiropractor is a licensed healthcare professional that focuses on the body’s capability to repair itself from neuromusculoskeletal problems. A chiropractor helps manage back and neck pain through the use of spinal adjustments to maintain good alignment.
WHAT DOES A CHIROPRACTOR DO?
A chiropractor develops individualised treatment regimens after detecting patients’ health issues in order to evaluate their physical state. They do a variety of diagnostic techniques such as x-rays and ultrasounds in order to understand the patient’s needs. Chiropractors provide an all-around care which includes spine manipulation, adjustments, massage and other healing techniques. Furthermore, this is done to reduce discomfort and enhance the musculoskeletal system’s strength. Their primary objective is to use non-invasive, drug-free methods to assist patients in improving their health and reducing discomfort.
