Chiropractic is a hands
on,
complementary medical discipline that believes "true health is not merely the absence of disease, but the presence of physica
l, spiritual and
emotional well-being."
The philosophy of chiropractic is concerned with
the intimate relationship between structure (anatomy) and function
(physiology.) Chiropractors study a minimum of 7 years to become
licensed physicians who treat people by looking for the actual cause of their
problems rather than just masking their symptoms with drugs.
Chiropractic is most
commonly used to treat nerve, muscle and joint pain especially in the back, neck, arms or legs.

Because many chiropractors also use nutrition
counseling and physical rehabilitation, other conditions such as
obesity, high blood pressure, headaches, colitis, asthma and other
non-muscular conditions may benefit.
