Description:
Chiropractic acute care focuses primarily on pain reduction. Chiropractic treatment specifically involves the diagnosis and treatment of health problems related to the musculoskeletal system and their effect on the nervous system using non-invasive techniques without prescribing medications. Chiropractic is the third largest doctoral level profession after medicine and dentistry. In choosing a chiropractor, consider whether where they graduated from and how long they have been in practice. Some chiropractors tend to build their practices around treating certain conditions such as headaches, sports injuries, health and nutrition, etc. Chiropractic manipulation is generally the primary treatment method but an assortment of many physical modalities may also be used during treatments depending on the condition being addressed.
