What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is a form of health care that focuses on the relationship between the body's structure, primarily of the spine, and function. Doctors of chiropractic, who are also called chiropractors or chiropractic physicians, use a type of hands-on therapy called manipulation (or adjustment) as their core clinical procedure.

Chiropractic is most often used to treat musculoskeletal conditions - problems with the muscles, joints, bones, and connective tissue such as cartilage, ligaments, and tendons.

In addition to the chiropractic adjustment, several physiotherapy modalities are used. These include: ultra- sound, diathermy, electrical muscle stimulation, and traction.

It is important to inform all of your health care providers about any treatment that you are using or considering, including chiropractic. This will help each provider make sure that all aspects of your health care are working together.

The basic concepts of chiropractic can be described as follows:

• The body has a powerful self-healing ability.
• The body's structure (primarily that of the spine) and its functions are closely related, and this relationship affects health.
• Chiropractic therapy is given with the goals of normalizing this relationship between structure and function and assisting the body as it heals.
