Doctors of Chiropractic are physicians who consider man as an integrated being and give special attention to the relationships between physiological function  and structural integrity.

in and through accredited Chiropractic Colleges and include, but are not limited to, the use of current diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Such procedures specifically include the adjustment and manipulation of the spine, extremities and adjacent tissues of the human body. Included is the treatment of intersegmental aberrations for alleviation of related functional disorders. By correcting structural faults in the spine, and the rest of the musculoskeletal system, Chiropractors are able to restore function to the different systems of the body and greatly improve the health and well being of their patients.

Chiropractic is a drug-free, non-surgical science and, as such, does not include pharmaceuticals or incisive surgery.
