CHIROPRACTORS AND CHIROPRACTIC DOCTORS: WHAT DO WE DO?
The conditions treated by chiropractors are extremely varied; however, all chiropractors follow a standard examination process to identify the proper treatment a patient may need, including physical exams, laboratory analysis, and X-ray imaging.
What differentiates Chiropractic from other fields of health care is its close care and attention of the spine, a column of small, mobile bones beginning at the base of the skull and continuing down to the center of the hips. Due to the 31 nerves that enter and exit the spine through a number of openings, it forms a complicated structure with a notable impact on every other part of the body. However, in addition to its focus on the spine, Chiropractic also emphasizes the importance of maintaining a nutritional diet and regular exercise for both one’s physical and mental health.
While Chiropractic offers an alternative to potentially harmful medications, chiropractors work closely with other health practitioners in the case that other medical intervention is necessary. For example, chiropractors work with both doctors and physical therapists in a variety of physical rehabilitation practices like sports therapy and occupational health.
There are many factors that can lead to the displacement in the spinal column that cause pain and ailment to the human body. Chiropractic works to reduce the irritation caused by such displacements so that you are able to move efficiently and without pain.
