Chiropractic is a form of alternative medicine which utilizes a holistic approach to health and wellness, by utilizing the body's innate ability to heal itself.  Usually, a chiropractic manipulation, or "adjustment", can be used in order to restore function, reduce or eliminate pain, and help the body to heal itself.  Other therapies including massage, electrical stimulation, therapeutic exercise, and manual therapy, can be used to help correct musculoskeletal problems, and restore function.
