Chiropractor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Chiropractor, according to the Association of Chiropractic Colleges,[1] "focuses on the relationship between the body's main structures – the skeleton, the muscles and the nerves – and the patient's health. Chiropractors believe that health can be improved and preserved by making adjustments to these structures, particularly to the spinal column. They do not prescribe drugs or perform surgical procedures, although they do refer patients for these services if they are medically indicated."
