Chiropractic care is a complementary and alternative medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, including the spine, as well as joints and soft tissues of the extremities. Chiropractors receive special training in manual adjustment techniques which they use to adjust your spine and joints, to improve the misalignments and increase range of motion. Chiropractors also use various techniques to treat the soft tissues (muscles, tendons and ligaments), such as Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM), cupping and Myofascial Release Therapy (MRT) in conjunction with manual adjustments to assist the body in the healing process.
