What is chiropractic care?

A visit to the chiropractor is a patient-centered experience. Your chiropractor is a regulated healthcare professional who treats your spine, muscles, joints, and nervous system. Chiropractic care is typically a hands on, non-invasive form of therapy.

Your chiropractor will go through a detailed assessment of your medical history and current conditions in order to properly diagnose and treat the issues that are affecting your body. Your chiropractor does not treat these conditions with medication or surgery, nor can they prevent them from reoccurring.

Chiropractic care can be used to promote your overall health and wellness, improve your quality of life, and alleviate pain.
