What is a chiropractor?
A chiropractor is a licensed healthcare professional focused on diagnosing and treating neuromuscular and musculoskeletal disorders. Most chiropractors emphasize the body’s ability to heal itself and perform manual adjustments (aka manipulations) of the spine and, at times, the extremities.
Spinal adjustments aim to help you manage back and neck pain and keep your spine in proper alignment.
In the United States, you must complete a Doctor of Chiropractic degree, pass a national exam, and obtain a state-specific license before becoming a chiropractor.
