his mind to do.

They have a specialized approach to
the examination, diagnosis and care of problems relating
to bones, muscles, nerves and tendons. Based on best
available research and clinical evidence
with particular emphasis on the relationship between
the spine and the nervous system.
Chiropractic treatment is based on
scientific research that
restricted movement in the spine may
lead to pain and reduced function. Spinal adjustment
(manipulation) is one form of therapy
chiropractors use to treat restricted spinal mobility.
The goal is to restore spinal movement
and, as a result, improve function and decrease back
pain.
During an adjustment, chiropractors use their hands to apply
a controlled, sudden force to a
joint. This maneuver often results in a cracking
sound made by separation of the joint surfaces,
not as many people think, by "cracking joints."
Although this sound is common, it doesn't have
to occur for the treatment to be successful.
Chiropractors may also use massage and stretching to relax
muscles that are shortened or in
spasm. Many use additional treatments as well,
such as ultrasound, electrical muscle
stimulation, heat and cold.
