Chiropractic Basics
Chiropractic care seeks to positively impact a patient’s whole health without the use of drugs or surgery. It aims to relieve pain, infirmity, enhance performance and mobility, and to favorably impact a patient’s overall well being. It seeks to rejuvenate the patient’s neurological and musculoskeletal integrity which allows the body to heal itself.
A Doctor of Chiropractic is a primary care provider who focuses on prevention and problems of spine-related disorders and associated locomotor conditions.
Licensed chiropractors need to comply with the laws and regulations governing chiropractic practice in the jurisdiction where they work, including documentation, coding and billing practices.
