Chiropractic examines the spine for subluxations. These are misalignments of one or several segments in the spine that can affect the nervous system creating interference and affecting the functioning of the body, restrict movement and affect the muscles around it. Chiropractors perform specific chiropractic adjustments that help restore the alignment of the spine and thus release nerve interference so that the body can work better.

Among the benefits you can find with chiropractic care are: Greater mobility, decreased muscle spasm. decreased muscle pain, increased energy among many other benefits.
First, a chiropractor should be able to diagnose the cause of your back pain. Back pain is not normal. There is a problem causing the symptoms. Second, a good chiropractor should be able to suggest an appropriate, effective treatment plan to fix the cause of your symptoms. A combination of manipulation, stretching, muscle work and physical therapy modalities
should be able to resolve your symptoms and fix the cause. If not, pain management and/or surgery may be necessary. Try conservative treatment first, surgery only if necessary.

Most of the time, chronic back pain is some sort of a structural imbalance from a the pelvis or spine. Chiropractors are highly trained to realign the spine and pelvis. Most of the time, adjustments are painless and can sometimes give instant relief.
Chiropractors are specialists in diagnosing a treating all conditions involving the spine. Treatment usually involves restoring proper alignment and function to the spine, and some soft tissue therapy is needed. They may also recommend stretches and other exercises to do at home to speed recovery and prevent future injury.
