Tell me all about chiropractors

[green_momma2007]

What can they help you with? What are the different types (are there different types)? Does a chiropractor act like a general medicine doctor, or do you only go to them for specific ailments?

Chiropractors are wonderful!

They can be helpful in a variety of ways. Obviously what they do when you see them is adjust your spine, which balances your nervous system and affects a wide variety of bodily functions.

Getting adjusted regularly can help keep your body/soine strong. It can help with your overall immune function. It is particularly helpful in kids who are prone to colic and ear infections.

Most chiros don't operate as general practitioners, at least in my state.

Both myself and my son get adjusted weekly.
