Chiropractors focus on providing correct physical alignment to maintain health.
They treat health problems associated with the body's muscular, nervous and skeletal systems - especially the spine. According to chiropractic theory, if the spine is not aligned, or if the muscular or nervous systems suffer problems, a person may experience pain, discomfort or other health concerns. People often seek the care of a chiropractor after being in a car accident. Many prefer chiropractic care for whiplash type injuries. They also try to help patients avoid disease through preventive care.
