Chiropractic is a non-invasive, hands-on health care discipline that focuses on the neuromusculoskeletal system for disorders related to the spine, pelvis, nervous system and joints (including shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee and ankle).

Chiropractors use a combination of treatments, all of which are predicated on the specific needs of the individual patient. After taking a complete history and diagnosing a patient, a chiropractor can develop and carry out a comprehensive treatment/management plan, recommend therapeutic exercise and other non-invasive therapies, and provide nutritional, dietary and lifestyle counselling.

A chiropractic adjustment is a highly skilled and precise movement usually applied by hand to a joint of the body. Adjustments loosens the joint to restore proper movement and optimize function.
