A chiropractor is a primary health care provider with a focus on the conservative treatment of conditions associated with joints and muscles. A chiropractor focuses on treating the cause of the problem and not the symptoms, thereby allowing the body to heal itself.
Chiropractic care is safe, non-invasive and drug free. It uses a hands on approach to naturally and effectively improve health care. Chiropractic care concentrates on the relationship that exists between the spine, the nervous system and the rest of the body. It uses a biomechanical and neurophysiological approach in effectively treating acute and chronic conditions and restoring the body to its optimal functioning and maintaining the preservation of health and well-being.
Chiropractic care is the third largest primary health care profession in the western world and is one of the fastest growing professions.
