Chiropractic physicians diagnose and treat patients whose health problems are associated with the body's muscular, nervous, and skeletal systems, especially the spine. Chiropractic physicians believe that interference with these systems impairs the body's normal functions and lowers its resistance to disease. Chiropractic physicians also hold that spinal or vertebral dysfunction alters many important body functions by affecting the nervous system and that skeletal imbalance through joint or articular dysfunction, especially in the spine, can cause pain. Chiropractic physicians approach healthcare holistically, stressing the patient's overall health and wellness. Chiropractic physicians believe that many factors affect health, including exercise, diet, rest, environment, and heredity.
