Chiropractors are healthcare professionals who specialise in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of musculoskeletal disorders. While many people associate chiropractic care solely with back and neck pain, the reality is that chiropractors can address a wide range of conditions that affect the body's overall function and well-being. In this article, we will explore some common conditions treated by chiropractors and how chiropractic care takes a holistic approach to promoting health and wellness.

Back Pain:

Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek chiropractic care. Whether it's due to poor posture, injury, or underlying spinal misalignments, chiropractors use spinal adjustments and other manual techniques to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and restore proper function to the spine.
