“Chiropractics and The Chiropractor”
What is a Chiropractor?
A chiropractor is a licensed healthcare professional specializing in diagnosing, treating, and preventing biomechanical disorders of the neuromusculoskeletal system, which includes the bones, joints, nerves, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. In South Africa, chiropractors complete six years of rigorous study to earn their “Doctor” title.
Chiropractic care focuses on the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Through manual adjustments, chiropractors restore proper joint alignment, helping to manage pain and improve overall body function. These adjustments can enhance the performance of various systems throughout the body.
Chiropractors address a wide range of conditions and offer a holistic, drug-free approach to health. They serve as an alternative or complement to conventional medicine, aiming to reduce reliance on medications and avoid surgery whenever possible.
