What is chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a gentle, painless, and effective type of treatment that removes blockages and dislocations in the vertebrae and joints. With targeted, small, quick chiropractic movements, it releases the joint. Muscles and periarticular tissues change their tension, the pressure on the nerves decreases and normal joint function returns. Regular treatments help maintain optimal health and permanently get rid of symptoms.
The most common ailments treated by chiropractors include: headaches, neck and back pain (cervical syndrome, lumbago, sciatica, herniated disc).
