Most people visit a chiropractor because a friend or family member suggested it, usually to ease low back pain, neck pain, or headaches.

Chiropractic care is a highly effective and affordable way to treat these issues. But chiropractic is more than just pain relief. It focuses on improving health by optimizing how the nervous system works. Since the nervous system runs through the spine and skull, chiropractors help with pain there, but because the brain controls the whole body, chiropractic care can improve overall body function.

When the spine is misaligned, it can cause nerve problems, pain, limited movement, and reduce how well your body works. Over time, this can lead to weakness, inflammation, and illness.
