A chiropractic physician is a trained and licensed health care professional. Treatment techniques involve includes adjustments and re-alignments of the spine, joints, and soft tissues. These manipulations can be done with the chiropractor's hands or various machines and tools that are safe and effective, always administered under the experienced supervision of the chiropractor.

Chiropractic treatment can also include various exercises, ice or heat therapy, nerve and muscle stimulation techniques along with counseling on health and lifestyle changes.

As a significant aspect of the health care continuum and an extension of traditional medicine, chiropractic care is well established in North America (the U.S. and Canada) and in Australia. The techniques in chiropractic care often overlap with other manual type therapy professions such as massage therapy, physical therapy, and osteopathy. Individuals who seek out chiropractic care do so for low back or neck pain. However, chiropractic care can do much more than that. If you're in pain of any type (knee, joint, shoulder, muscle) or have any issues with balance, a chiropractor can often alleviate these conditions.

A licensed chiropractor is accredited by the Council on Chiropractic Education and his / her credentials should be shown in the office. If you're looking for a reliable chiropractor, check with your state Chiropractic Board of Examiners to see if there are any disciplinary actions against them. Do your homework and make sure any chiropractor you're thinking of visiting has a clean record. The best way to ensure your safety and satisfaction is to ask friends, family, and co-workers for recommendations about chiropractic care.
