Chiropractic is a form of alternative medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, particularly the spine. The underlying theory of chiropractic is that proper alignment of the body's musculoskeletal structure, particularly the spine, will allow the body to heal itself without the need for medication or surgery.
Chiropractors use chiropractic adjustments to improve alignment and mobility, and to relieve pain and other symptoms associated with musculoskeletal conditions. They also employ various other techniques, such as massage, stretching, and exercise, to help patients maintain their alignment and prevent future problems.
