The Role of Chiropractic Chiropractic practice offers nonsurgical, drug-free options for correcting, bone, disc, nerve, ligament, muscle, and soft-tissue problems related to spinal misalignment. When vertebrae become misaligned through trauma, injury, or degenerative changes, brain-body communication is interrupted, leading to acute and chronic pain and loss of function. Chiropractic therapies remove communication barriers to restore natural function.

Chiropractic care is frequently used in combination with conventional and complementary medical disciplines including orthopedics, neurology, physical therapy, and naturopathy.
