Chiropractic Medicine
Chiropractic medicine involves the gentle care for disorders of the spine and related conditions. At Northwestern Medicine, chiropractors work with patients to help restore proper function and movement of the spine and related structures to help the body work more efficiently.
Reasons to Seek Chiropractic Care
The relationship between the spine and the body can have a major impact on your health. Poor posture, injury, stress or arthritis can result in pain and a variety of health disorders. Many patients receive substantial relief and optimize their health with the help of chiropractic care.
