What is chiropractic

Chiropractic is a form of medical treatment that involves manually releasing blockages in the spine and joints. It is often used as an alternative or supplement to drug or surgical therapies for musculoskeletal complaints. For newborns and children, the main focus of treatment is on optimal motor and neurological development and prevention. As the manipulation directly influences the nervous system, not only can optimal spinal function be achieved, but also optimal performance of the nervous system.
