Chiropractic care helps correct problems that occur within the joints of the body,  especially within the spine.  Chiropractic physicians use their hands to apply short, quick,  highly controlled thrusts to joints which are not moving properly.  This "adjustment" helps restore the spine's normal mobility or movement.  This in turn releases pressure from the joints and surrounding nerves.  Chiropractic adjustments help reduce or eliminate pain,  and correct its underlying cause.
Is a Chiropractor a "REAL DOCTOR" ?
A chiropractor,  or chiropractic physician earns the degree of Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) after successfully completing a four year undergraduate college program and a mandatory four year program in chiropractic studies at an accredited college.  A chiropractor must also pass national and state board certification examinations in order to receive a license to practice.
Is Chiropractic Safe?
Research shows chiropractic care to be extremely safe.  It's not for everyone.  People with fractures or bone diseases,  or those who have a loss of bowel or bladder control,  probably would not benefit from chiropractic care.   But numerous reports show that spinal manipulation administered by a chiropractic physician can provide great benefits to those suffering from sprains and strains,   disc problems,  "pinched" nerves,  and a variety of symptoms associated with muscular and skeletal conditions.
