Chiropractor
Chiropractics is the diagnostic and manipulative treatment of mechanical disorders in the joints, especially the spinal column, as well as treatment of vertebrae related dysfunctions.
Chiropractic treatment concentrates mainly on the nervous system, and the relationship between the skeletal and muscular systems.
Diet, exercise, lifestyle and hereditary factors are considered when diagnosing and treating dysfunctions and imbalances of the various body systems.
Spinal analysis and neurological tests are essential components in the treatment of patients. Once a patient’s problem is found using x-ray, different techniques such as acupuncture, ultrasound, heart and electric therapy are used for treatments. Holistic health treatment is also used as many factors affect health.
Chiropractors, therefore, recommend regular and specific exercises, proper sleeping habits, proper diet and other lifestyle changes to effect recuperation and a healthy life. Chiropractic treatment does not involve drugs and surgery.
