About Chiropractic
Chiropractors specialize in the assessment, diagnosis, and
treatment of the neuromusculoskeletal system. Although this
typically involves focusing on the biomechanics of the spine,
chiropractors are also proficient at evaluating all other
joints and muscles of the body. Treatment is hands-on and
usually includes spinal and extremity manipulations, also
known as adjustments, as well as soft tissue treatments,
exercise prescription, and lifestyle recommendations. The
intent of spinal and extremity manipulation is to introduce
movement to joints with restricted motion, with the result of
decreasing pain and improving motion at the joint of interest.
In order to practice chiropractic, chiropractors must first
complete 4 years of schooling including 4500 hours of
lab-work, lectures, and practical hands-on clinic work. Prior
to entering chiropractic school, chiropractors must finish at
least three years of a university undergraduate program,
though most chiropractors first complete the full 4-year
undergraduate degree before entering chiropractic school.
