Doctor of Chiropractic

Doctor of Chiropractic

Chiropractors are licensed healthcare professionals who focus on the body’s ability to self-heal through caring for the neuromusculoskeletal system, such as the bones, nerves, muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

Chiropractors conduct patient examinations by looking at spinal position and muscle reflexes to diagnose, create treatment plans, and monitor progress. Along with performing adjustments and alignments to the body, they provide corrective exercises to fix movement compensations and imbalances to improve the overall quality of movement during workouts and in everyday life.
