A Chiropractor is a alternative medicine provider that traditionally specializes in treatment of the joints and muscles of the spine via a manual manipulation known as an “adjustment”.
Over the last 50 years the profession has evolved to include more physical therapy modalities, electrical modalities, nutritional advice and functional neurology to treat complex neurologic disorders(without medicine). The type of Chiropractor you visit can vary widely based on areas they have chose study. There are still some that only manipulate the spine.
