What is chiropractic care?

Chiropractic care is a type of medicine that relies on your body’s natural ability to come into balance and heal itself. It involves adjustments by a licensed chiropractor to align your spine and manipulate your joints, which allows your body to be in a state that’s optimal for self-healing. The adjustments can complement any other treatments you get.

When you visit You. Center for Health and Wellness for chiropractic care, the team evaluates you initially to understand what you need so they can plan your adjustments accordingly. They may use several strategies in a session to address musculoskeletal pain from a variety of concerns.
