Doctors of chiropractic provide highly specialized care for musculoskeletal conditions, and they identify and correct vertebral subluxations. They also serve as teachers as they educate patients about the power of the body to regulate and heal itself. And, they act as coaches who encourage sound health and wellness habits.

Many health care providers face patients who dread coming to their offices, fearful of a painful procedure or suspected bad news about their health. Although the practitioners know the service they provide is important, these negative interactions can decrease work satisfaction. Chiropractors are fortunate in this regard because the procedures they perform are never invasive. A trip to the chiropractor is much like a trip to the health club — an enjoyable and rewarding activity you do because you value your health. Because people continue with regular care for its long-term benefits, chiropractors also build close relationships with patients over time.
