Chiropractic is the third largest health care profession in the U.S. behind Medicine and Dentistry. Chiropractors are primary health care providers trained in the health of the entire human body.
 
Chiropractic colleges are accredited by the same federal agencies that accredit medical schools. Chiropractic education specializes in arthrology(study of joints), biomechanics and the nervous system.
 
While chiropractic education focuses on the neuro- muscular skeletal system, medical schools spend very little time on this aspect of health, specializing instead on disease processes and pharmaceuticals.

If Dr Staulo finds any health problem during the course of his examination that is not in the scope of chiropractic practice he will recommend the appropriate medical specialist.

The primary method of care used by chiropractors is manual manipulation, called adjustments . Chiropractic adjustments restore joint motion, relieving joint inflammation, muscle spasms and nerve irritation. Chiropractic adjustments are unique to the chiropractic profession. Chiropractic care is proven more effective than physical therapy or medical care in the care of low back pain.

Once You Start Care, Do You Have To Go Forever?

Chiropractic maintenance care is totally optional and separate from injury care. The patient always has the option of how much care they need or want.
