Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic is a healthcare profession that deals with the body’s main structures: the skeleton, muscles and nerves. By making adjustments to these structures (particularly the spinal column), health can be improved. Chiropractic generally treats disorders of the neuromusculoskeletal system, addressing the following:
- Back and neck pain
- Headaches
- Joint pain
In addition to chiropractic adjustment, chiropractors may also recommend:
- Diet, nutrition and lifestyle modifications
- Exercise
- Heat and cold
- Massage
- Occupational needs
Chiropractic Doctors
Chiropractic doctors are stringently educated as healthcare providers. In fact, educational requirements for a Doctor of Chiropractic (DO) include:
- Four years of post-graduate study
- An additional two years of training
- A National Board of Chiropractic Examiners (NBCE) exam
- Onsite skills training
