Chiropractic is a form of holistic healthcare that mainly deals with the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine. A chiropractor uses spinal adjustments, manipulation, and other techniques to manage patients’ health concerns, including neck pain, back pain, headaches, vertigo and a long list of other ailments and conditions. They aim to improve patients’ functionality and quality of life by properly aligning the body’s musculoskeletal structure and enabling the body to heal itself naturally, without the use of medication or surgery. 

What sets Parker Chiropractic & Wellness apart from other practices in the area is the blend of the latest in therapeutic technology with the use of traditional adjustment techniques. This allows for faster results with less discomfort than relying on manual therapy alone.
