Chiropractic is a form of alternative medicine that mainly deals with the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, particularly relating to the spine. A chiropractor uses spinal adjustments, physical therapy, nutritional therapy and rehabilitative exercise to manage patients’ health concerns, such as neck pain, back pain, headaches, vertigo and sciatic neuritis as well as many other musculoskeletal  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.
