"Chiropractor" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
A chiropractor is a healthcare professional who specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine. Chiropractors use manual therapies, such as spinal manipulation and adjustment, to improve joint mobility and reduce pain and inflammation. They may also use other techniques such as physical therapy, exercise, and nutritional counseling to treat a range of conditions, including back pain, neck pain, headaches, and sports injuries. Chiropractors believe that the body has an innate ability to heal itself and that the primary purpose of chiropractic care is to remove spinal misalignments, also known as subluxations, which can put pressure on the nervous system and affect overall health and well-being.
