Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system, and the effects on these disorders on general health. Chiropractic care is most often used to treat neuromusculoskeletal complaints, including but not limited to back pain, neck pain, pain in the joints of the arms and legs, and headaches.

​Doctors of chiropractic practice a drug-free, hands-on approach to health care that includes patient examination, diagnosis, and treatment. Chiropractors have broad diagnostic skills and are also trained to recommend therapeutic, and rehabilitative exercises, as well as provide nutritional, dietary, and lifestyle counseling.
