Chiropractic care focuses on the relationship between the spinal column, and the nervous, muscular and circulatory systems and their combined effect on a patient's overall health. The spinal column houses the spinal cord, and spinal nerves branch out from between the vertebrae to areas all over the body. A doctor of chiropractic treats spinal problems by identifying, through examination, and x-rays if necessary, where the problem area is located. Chiropractors then manipulate of adjust the spine to correct the problem, alleviate the pain and encourage the body's natural healing process.
Today many medical doctors are realizing the significant role chiropractors can play in relieving pain for their patients. This "integrative health care" approach is allowing professionals from different specialties to work together to improve their patients' health. Chiropractic services are quickly becoming recognized as mainstream health care.
