The focus of a chiropractor is the SPINE. Chiropractors are health care professionals who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of neuromuscular disorders, with an emphasis on treatment through manual adjustment and/or manipulation of the SPINE. They use a variety of techniques to treat their patients, including physical therapy, exercise, and lifestyle counseling. The goal of chiropractic care is to reduce pain, improve function, and help patients reach their optimal level of health.
