 Chiropractors practice a drug-free, manual approach to health care that include patient assessment, diagnosis and treatment. IN particular, chiropractors assess patients for disorders related to the spine, pelvis, extremity joints, and their effect on the nervous system.
As a result of taking a physical assessment and patient history, chiropractors are able to provide a differential diagnosis for the patient's presenting condition(s) and develop a comprehensive treatment plan.
Chiropractors are also trained to recommend therapeutic exercises, to utilize other non-invasive therapies, as well as to provide nutritional, dietary and lifestyle counseling.
