Chiropractic is a form of diagnosis and treatment of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine.
The word "chiropractic" derives from Greek: ����������- "hand" and -������������������ "practicing". Chiropractors believe that many health problems are caused by interference with the nervous system, which they believe runs through the spine.
The chiropractor's job is to make sure your spine is in its natural position and to keep it there. They do this by manipulating your joints, muscles, and tendons.
There are many benefits of chiropractic care. It can help relieve chronic pain and reduce back pain. It also helps improve range of motion and mobility. Chiropractic care can also improve posture, balance and alleviate headaches or migraines.

The process of receiving a chiropractic adjustment is an important one. It can be helpful in restoring your spine's health and helping you feel better.
There are many benefits to receiving a chiropractic adjustment. For example, it can help reduce pain, improve your range of motion, and increase the flexibility of your spine.
A chiropractor will perform an evaluation before starting the adjustment process with you to determine what needs to be done. The evaluation will often include some diagnostic tests such as X-rays or MRIs that allow the chiropractor to see what is going on in your spine.
After the evaluation has been completed, the chiropractor will provide you with a treatment plan that includes adjustments as well as other care options such as massage therapy or joint manipulation therapy.

A visit to a chiropractor is not just a one-time thing. It is an ongoing process that helps you maintain your spine alignment and keep your muscles healthy.
You should also be prepared to answer a few questions about your symptoms, what makes it better or worse, how long you have been experiencing it, and if there is anything that makes it better or worse.
You can expect to feel better after the first visit because of the adjustments that have been made to your spine. You may feel some stiffness or soreness in your back for a few days after, but this is normal and should go away soon.
