Frequently Asked Questions
▷ How do I know if I need Chiropractic Care?
Chiropractors can address a wide range of musculoskeletal issues beyond just back problems. While spinal care is a primary focus, chiropractors are trained to treat conditions affecting the entire body, including headaches, pain in the arms and legs, and even some non-musculoskeletal issues, such as gastric reflux, shortness of breath, pelvic floor prolapse and etc. Chiropractic care aims to improve overall body function by addressing the relationship between the spine and the nervous system.
▽ Can chiropractors address issues other than back problems?
