Chiropractic is a form of alternative medicine that focuses on diagnosis and treatment of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine. The main goal of chiropractic care is to restore proper functioning of the body by manipulating the spine or other parts of the body. Chiropractors believe that misalignments in the spine can cause a variety of health problems and use techniques such as adjustment and manipulation to correct these misalignments, allowing the body to heal itself naturally.
