Some people refer to chiropractic adjustments as getting their back or neck cracked. In reality, the loud cracking sound you may hear is your joints popping or sliding back into the correct alignment.
While the focus of chiropractic training is on holistic healing that does not involve drugs or surgery, there are times when an injury requires surgical intervention. Chiropractors have the expertise to know if and when that is necessary.
Chiropractors don't use a one-size-fits-all approach to care because what works for one patient may not work as well for another. Instead, it's common to customize the chiropractic treatment plan for each patient.
To prevent back pain, injuries and strains associated with cleaning and vacuuming, use these tips: use knee pads and kneel instead of bending over, always lift with your legs, carry objects close to your chest and avoid repetitive twisting motions.
