What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a healthcare discipline focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, particularly the spine. We employ manual manipulation and other non-invasive techniques to address issues such as misalignments, joint restrictions, and nerve interference, aiming to promote overall health and alleviate pain.
