A chiropractor is a licensed healthcare professional who specializes in neuromuscular and musculoskeletal disorders. Most chiropractors emphasize the body’s ability to heal itself and perform manual adjustments (also known as manipulations) of the spine and, occasionally, the extremities.
Spinal adjustments aim to relieve back and neck pain while also keeping your spine in proper alignment.
Before becoming a chiropractor in the United States, you must first obtain a Doctor of Chiropractic degree, pass a national exam, and obtain a state-specific license.
