chiropractor
Back pain reliever
A chiropractor is a practitioner of chiropractic, a system of treatment based on the belief that many health problems stem from misalignments of the spine.
Chiropractors manipulate the spine and joints, often producing audible cracks: My chiropractor adjusted my lower back.
The practice occupies contested ground between mainstream medicine and alternative therapy.
