Chiropractic
Chiropractors practice a manual approach, providing diagnosis, treatment and preventative care for disorders related to the spine, pelvis, nervous system and joints. Chiropractors use a combination of treatments, all 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 as well as recommended therapeutic exercise and other non-invasive therapies.
Chiropractic treatment may include an adjustment, which is a highly skilled and precise movement usually applied by hand to a joint of the body.
Adjustments can loosen the joint to restore proper movement and optimize function. When a joint is adjusted, a gas bubble escapes causing a popping noise.
