Chiropractic care is a healthcare profession focused on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal disorders, particularly those involving the spine. The word "chiropractic" comes from the Greek words "cheir" (hand) and "praktos" (done), meaning "done by hand."
 

Chiropractors believe that proper alignment of the body's musculoskeletal structure, particularly the spine, enables the body to heal itself without surgery or medication. Through manual adjustments and manipulations, chiropractors restore mobility to joints restricted by tissue injury caused by traumatic events, repetitive stress, or sitting without proper back support.
 

The primary focus is on the relationship between the spine and the nervous system, and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health.
When your spine is properly aligned, your nervous system can function optimally, allowing your body to perform at its best.
