What does a chiropractor do?

Chiropractors focus mainly on the vertebral column, and alleviation of pain caused by spinal difficulties, but they have also built a wider health care model which includes nutrition, exercise, posture, stress management, weight management, and a wide range of lifestyle counseling. The philosophy of chiropractic practitioners is the promotion of general health without the use of drugs or surgery. They believe that the body can heal itself and that the body should be treated as a whole - health is an expression of spiritual, psychological, physical, and environmental factors. Chiropractors are not the physicians of choice for serious pathologies or trauma. As a result, there are few emergency calls for chiropractors, and flexible hours allow for a personal life.
