The name is derived from the Greek  word ‘cheir’ that means ‘hand’ and ‘praktikos’ that means ‘done by’. Chiropractic is a therapy involving treatment on the musculo-skeletal system with particular emphasis on the spine and the nervous system. The term musculo-skeletal refers to the body’s structure: the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments and tendons that give body its form.

Chiropractors diagnose and treat numerous disorders associated with the musculo-skeletal system through a series of special examinations and manipulative techniques. It helps in relieving shoulder and lower back pain and helps in asthma, constipation and digestive problems.
