The chiropractor: the back specialist

Chiropractic is a healthcare discipline that focuses primarily on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of musculoskeletal disorders, in particular neck and back problems.

With his university education, the chiropractor specializes in the treatment of joint, muscle and related nerve disorders, especially of the spine and surrounding joints. A chiropractor can therefore rightly be called a back specialist.

Chiropractic does not use medicine, injections, infiltrations or surgical procedures. The main treatment method pays special attention to the spine and consists of fast, short, precise impulses to a joint or muscle that are usually painless.

In addition, treatment by the chiropractor includes muscle strengthening and mobilizing exercises as well as advice on general neck and back hygiene.
