Let’s dive into the world of chiropractic therapy and explore how it works, what conditions it helps with, and whether it lives up to its reputation as a natural pain relief solution.
What Is Chiropractic Care?
Chiropractic care is a healthcare discipline focused on diagnosing and treating neuromuscular disorders, with an emphasis on manual adjustment or manipulation of the spine. According to chiropractors, the body can cure itself without the need for surgery or drugs if the musculoskeletal system—especially the spine—is properly aligned.
The central idea behind chiropractic is that spinal misalignments (called subluxations) can disrupt the nervous system and lead to a variety of health issues, including pain, poor posture, and decreased mobility.
