The origin of chiropractic began in the 1890’s. The Latin breakdown of chiropractic means to do by hand practically. Chiropractic medicine is a comprehensive health care profession that addresses the wide variety of factors that impact upon human physiology.

Chiropractic physicians specialize in natural, non-invasive health care and are trained to use a full range of medical diagnostic tools and a wide array of effective treatment options in patient care. Chiropractic is a system of complementary medicine based on the diagnosis and manipulative treatment of misalignments of the joints, especially those of the spinal column, which are held to cause other disorders by affecting the nerves, muscles, and organs. Most chiropractors seek to reduce pain and improve the functionality of patients as well as to educate them on how they can account for their own health via exercise, ergonomics and other therapies to treat spinal and extremity pain and injuries.
