When people think of chiropractors, they tend to associate them with spine care; primarily neck and/or back pain. Although these ailments encompass a good portion of the patients that chiropractors see, they have the ability and knowledge to treat many different areas and conditions of the human body. Some other common examples of conditions that have high success rates with chiropractic care include headaches/migraines, TMJ and common upper and lower extremity symptoms. On the contrary, there are many conditions that cannot be directly treated through chiropractic care, some of which include high blood pressure, asthma, fertility issues, or any other additional systemic conditions. In these cases, chiropractors are well educated on where to refer patients.

Although one of the main therapeutic methods chiropractors use are manual adjustments, this is just one tool in their ever-expanding tool-box. Chiropractors also utilize many different soft tissue therapies, rehabilitative exercises, and patient education to help their patient’s reach their treatment goals and achieve long-lasting results.
