Definición

  • Chiropractic is a complementary and alternative healthcare profession that is involved in diagnosing and treating medical problems by adjustments made to the spine and the musculoskeletal system, usually by way of affecting the nervous system to improve the wellbeing of patients. This is based on an understanding that some human body problems come from lack of a normal nerve function, which chiropractors help improve through manipulation and adjustments of body structures.
