chiropractic care
Back manipulation therapy
Chiropractic care is treatment focused on the spine and musculoskeletal system, typically involving manual adjustment of vertebrae to address pain, improve mobility, or promote general health.
Practitioners (chiropractors) work primarily through spinal manipulation rather than surgery or medication: She's been getting chiropractic care for her back pain.
The field occupies contested territory between mainstream medicine and alternative therapy.
