chiropractic therapy

chiropractic is an approach to health care that tries to relieve pain through spinal manipulation. it is most often used for back or neck pain, and sometimes it is used for headaches or for pain in the arms or legs.

spinal manipulation involves working on the head, shoulders, neck, back, or hips to help relieve back pain. it can range from massage and slow pressing to a quick thrust.

most doctors of chiropractic (chiropractors) take a natural approach to promoting health through lifestyle changes, nutrition, and exercise. many chiropractors have extra training in physical rehabilitation and specific exercise therapy. some also use nutritional analysis, herbal therapy, and acupuncture.
