What is Chiropractic Care?
Chiropractors are health care experts trained in the neuro-musculoskeletal system to diagnose and treat disorders of the spine and other body parts through the use of various treatment techniques. Avita Health's Chiropractors also use a diverse range of techniques in addition to adjustments, in order to get the best outcomes.
