Chiropractic is a healthcare discipline focused on diagnosing, treating, and preventing neuromusculoskeletal disorders, primarily through manual spinal adjustments and other non-invasive techniques. It is based on the principle that proper alignment of the body’s musculoskeletal structure, particularly the spine, enables the body to heal itself without surgery or medication.

Chiropractors primarily use spinal manipulation to restore joint mobility, alleviate pain, and improve overall function. The practice is often used to treat conditions such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, and joint issues. Some chiropractors also incorporate lifestyle counseling, exercise therapy, and nutritional advice into their treatments.
