A chiropractor is a health care professional focused on the diagnosis and treatment of neuromuscular disorders, with an emphasis on treatment through manual adjustment and/or manipulation of the spine. They use a variety of therapies, including lifestyle advice, nutritional guidance, exercise programs, and ergonomic training to help patients manage their pain, restore mobility, improve function, and prevent future injury. Chiropractors emphasize the importance of proper posture and body mechanics in order to achieve optimal health and wellness. They strive to help their patients become as healthy as possible without relying solely on medications or invasive procedures.
