What is chiropractic?



Omaha chiropractic is a branch of medicine that is focused on maintaining good health, preventing health disorders and treating health disorders through natural approaches that involve the hands. Normally, when you visit a hospital you expect the health care provider to prescribe some drugs or perform some sort of surgery. With chiropractic care that is not the case. The aim of chiropractic care is to cure illnesses through non-invasive methods. Chiropractic care mainly involves manual manipulation of the spine.



The spine is a vital part of the body. It protects the spinal cord. The spine also aids movement of the upper part of the body. All this functions mean that the spine is a complex structure with a series of vertebrae, bones, discs, joints and ligaments. Any misalignment in these joints and vertebrae affect the nerves that are located in the spine. Chiropractic care primarily addresses these misalignments by restoring the normal positions of bones along the spine. Misalignments along the spine cause acute pain in the back. Chiropractic care is one of the most effective treatments for back pain.
