What can chiropractic services do for my lower back pain?
Chiropractors practice a hands-on, drug-free approach to healthcare that includes patient examination, diagnosis, and treatment. Chiropractors have broad diagnostic skills and are also trained to recommend therapeutic and rehabilitative exercises, as well as to provide nutritional, dietary, and lifestyle counseling.
One of the most common and well known therapeutic procedures performed by chiropractors is spinal manipulation (sometimes referred to as a "chiropractic adjustment"). The purpose of spinal manipulation is to restore joint mobility by manually applying a controlled force into joints that have become hypomobile―or restricted in their movement―as a result of a tissue injury.
