Chiropractors undertake 5 years of university study to be able to diagnose and treat a vast array of musculoskeletal problems, like neck pain, headaches, back pain, and sciatica. Chiropractors specialize in the spine – how it moves and how it functions. Chiropractors understand that when the vertebrae in the spine are not moving correctly this can cause pain, stiffness, and other symptoms, but that it also has an effect on how the nervous system functions.
This is important because we know that the brain and nervous system controls and coordinates all functions in the body.
