Chiropractors treat nerve impingement syndrome (NIS), which is also known as "pinched nerves".
The nervous system controls and coordinates all organs and structures of the human body”. Mis-alignments of the spinal vertebrae and discs may cause irritation to the nervous system and affect the structures, organs, function, and CAUSE PAIN.
Chiropractic is a drug-free, non-surgical science and, as such, does not include pharmaceuticals or invasive surgery.
Because chiropractic is a holistic practice, treatment extends beyond the time spent in the doctor's office.
Along with massage and manipulation, chiropractic doctors will also recommend a program of stretching, exercise, good nutrition, and lifestyle changes to promote better overall health.
