A Chiropractor does not prescribe drugs or surgery but traditionally relies on a variety of manual therapies, including spinal manipulation and mobilisation, to improve function and provide pain relief for patients. Besides helping to relieve pain, chiropractic care can also help reduce inflammation.

While chiropractic adjustments of the joints are commonly associated with this profession, doctors of chiropractic are not just limited to manipulation of the spine. Many evidence-based chiropractic treatments that are part of modern chiropractic care, include but are not limited to the use of physiologic therapeutics like ultrasound, electrical nerve stimulation, cold laser, ESWT and traction, acupuncture and dry needling, and the incorporation of home exercises, nutrition and postural advice for self-management strategies.
