Chiropractic Care
The Island
|August 22, 2025
In an age where modern medicine often relies heavily on pharmaceuticals and surgery, chiropractic care offers a markedly different path: one that focuses on the body's natural ability to heal itself through spinal adjustments and holistic practices.
-
Increasingly, people are turning to chiropractors not just for back pain but for a wide range of health concerns.
What is Chiropractic Care?
Chiropractic care is a healthcare discipline centered on diagnosing and treating mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, particularly the spine. The underlying belief is that misalignments in the spinal column, known as subluxations, can disrupt nerve function and overall health. Chiropractors use hands-on spinal manipulation and other techniques to correct these misalignments, restore mobility, and reduce pain.
Though chiropractic practice has long been a subject of debate within the wider medical community, its popularity continues to grow worldwide. Many patients report significant relief from conditions such as chronic back pain, neck stiffness, tension headaches, and sciatica.
