The chiropractor: a back specialist
A chiropractor is a healthcare professional trained to manage joint, muscle, and nerve pain, especially in the spine and surrounding joints.
Thanks to their university-level training, they can offer a natural, non-invasive treatment without medication, injections, or surgery.
Chiropractic treatment generally consists of precise, painless manual adjustments applied to joints or muscles to restore mobility and reduce pain.
Additionally, the chiropractor may recommend: muscle-strengthening exercises, targeted stretching, postural advice to prevent recurring neck or back pain
In various French-speaking countries, the terms chiropraticien, chiropracteur, chiropractie or chiropratique all refer to the same profession.

When should you see a chiropractor?
