Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal and nervous systems and the effects of these disorders on general health. Doctors of Chiropractic, often referred to as chiropractors or chiropractic physicians, practice a hands-on approach to health care that includes patient examination, diagnosis and treatment. Chiropractors are also trained to recommend therapeutic and rehabilitative exercises, as well as to provide nutritional, dietary, and lifestyle counseling.

The most common therapeutic procedures performed by doctors of chiropractic are known as spinal and extraspinal adjustments, joint manipulation, or mobilization to joints and related soft tissues (muscles, tendons, ligaments). The purpose of specific manipulation techniques is to help promote proper joint motion and alignment in the spine and extremities (shoulder, elbow,etc.) and to support proper nerve function throughout the body. Manipulation or adjustment of the affected joints and related soft tissues helps to restore mobility and increase proper nerve function, thereby alleviating pain and muscle tension and promoting healing.
