Chiropractors have been always looked at with suspicion and doubt by many people who believe that pain can only be treated by medication or surgery or by people who are misinformed about this profession.

Chiropractors are Doctors of Chiropractic who believes that there is a relationship between the spine and the nervous system and any alignment in the spine affects the nervous system of the body. The chiropractors then normalize the spine to get relief from pain and improve the wellness and overall health of the patient. The difference between medical care and chiropractic care is that while medical care is treating pain through medications and surgeries, chiropractic care is a medication free and surgical free treatment, and involves treatment by hand by applying pressure as chiropractic means “done by hand” in Greek
