Chiropractic
The cornerstone of chiropractic treatments are spinal manipulations, often called an "adjustment." It may involve gentle pressure, or a quick thrust to restore optimal motion to joints that have become restricted.
Doctors of chiropractic have the most extensive experience and education in spinal manipulation, performing 94% of those manipulations in the U.S. Numerous studies have proven the efficacy, safety, and long-term benefits of spinal manipulation and has been given the highest recommendation for the treatment of low back pain by the Agency of Health Care and Policy Research, an arm of the US Department of Health and Human Services.
