What is a Chiropractor?

Many people do not understand what a chiropractor does. Chiropractors use gentle manual adjustments to align the vertebrae. They may also adjust other joints, such as ankles, hips, knees, wrists and shoulders. Allergies, asthma, headaches, cramps, spastic colon, and pain of the arm, leg and hand, can all be treated with simple spinal adjustments. Dysfunction in the neck and back often cause symptoms in other parts of the body. For example, children with frequent ear problems may benefit from adjustments that help the ears drain correctly. Those with asthma may find relief after an adjustment that relieves tension in the chest.

What Happens During Chiropractic Exams?

A thorough exam must be conducted prior to a first-time chiropractic treatment. After familiarizing himself with your health history, the chiropractor will perform some physical, orthopedic and neurological exams. He will also assess your posture and examine your muscles, joints, and spine. He may also perform some other diagnostic testing, such as X-rays, to better understand your condition and rule out more serious problems that would require a referral to another type of healthcare provider.

How are Chiropractors Trained?

All 50 states require that chiropractors be licensed. A chiropractor must complete a comprehensive four-year college course and at least two years of supervised undergraduate experience to be licensed. There are currently over 60,000 licensed chiropractors practicing in the United States.
