Chiropractors are concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the spine, joints, bones and muscles and the effects that these problems have on the nervous system. Disorders of these types manifest themselves as pain, discomfort or ill health.

Treatment is based on loosening and mobilising these joints, thereby relieving pressure on the nervous system.

Chiropractic is the third largest healthcare profession in the Western world after medicine and dentistry.
