Chiropractic treatments usually involve adjusting the joints and bones in a person's spine using twisting, pulling or pushing movements. Some chiropractors use heat, electrical stimulation or ultrasound to help relax the person's muscles before doing a spinal adjustment.
The primary theory behind chiropractic therapy is to help the body heal itself by correcting subluxation of the joints, particularly the bones of the spine (vertebrae).
