What is chiropractic science?
About
The profession of chiropractic care is a regulated health care profession and has been around for over a hundred years. Chiropractic science examines the relationship between the spine and the nervous system and the practices to correct or treat misalignments in the body. Although known primarily for its spinal care, chiropractic science combines art and science to help restore and realign the body using a holistic approach.
