Chiropractors

Individuals who diagnose and treat patients whose health problems are associated with the body's muscular, nervous and skeletal systems, especially the spine. When difficulties can be traced to the involvement of musculoskeletal structures, chiropractors manually adjust the spinal column. Some chiropractors use water, light, massage, ultrasound, electric and heat therapy; and may apply supports such as straps, tapes and braces.
