What is a chiropractor?

Chiropractors are healthcare professionals who specialize in the neuromusculoskeletal system, which encompasses the spine, nerves, muscles, and joints.

They are qualified by a Doctor of Chiropractic (DC), licensed by the State, and who practices chiropractic medicine -that discipline within the healing arts which deals with the nervous system and its relationship to the spinal column and its interrelationship with other body systems.

What do chiropractors do?

Assess and Diagnose
Chiropractors perform physical examinations, take medical histories, and may order imaging tests (e.g., X-rays) to identify musculoskeletal issues such as spinal misalignments, disc herniations, and nerve impingements. 

Provide Spinal Adjustments
The primary treatment offered by chiropractors is spinal manipulation, also referred to as chiropractic adjustments. These involve applying controlled force to specific vertebrae to improve alignment and reduce nerve interference. 

Treat Musculoskeletal Conditions
Chiropractors treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including back pain, neck pain, headaches, sciatica, and whiplash. 

Promote Wellness
In addition to spinal adjustments, chiropractors may provide other interventions to support overall wellness, such as:

• Exercise and rehabilitation recommendations 
• Nutritional counseling 
• Lifestyle modifications 
• Soft tissue therapy (e.g., massage, stretching) 

It’s important to note that chiropractic care is a complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) approach, and its effectiveness for certain conditions may vary.

It’s recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before seeking chiropractic treatment, especially if there are underlying medical conditions or concerns.

Radiology Chiropractors

Healthcare Taxonomy Code 111NR0200X

Chiropractic radiology is a referral specialty that provides consultation services upon request from other qualified doctors.

Chiropractic radiologists provide consultation in health care facilities (private offices, hospitals, and teaching institutions) to meet the needs of referring doctors and their patients.

The quality of consultative services provided by a chiropractic radiologist in independent practice is reflected in their professional credentials.

Chiropractic radiologists recommend, supervise, and interpret radiologic studies and advanced imaging procedures.

They advise referring physicians on the necessity and appropriateness of radiologic services, and on whether to select or avoid specific diagnostic or clinical procedures.

In some instances, the radiologist may act as a private practitioner.

They may conduct research and apply diagnostic radiologic procedures, and may be called upon to act as expert witnesses in litigation.

Chiropractic radiologists are also concerned with imaging technology, including image production, demonstration of normal and abnormal anatomy, and the interaction of energy and matter.

Advances in the technological aspects of radiology are so rapid that only qualified radiologists can reasonably be expected to maintain the high level of proficiency required to supervise and interpret these procedures.

The practice of radiology continually involves applying this technology to patient imaging and treatment.

It is now well recognized that chiropractic radiology includes, but is not limited to, plain film radiography, fluoroscopy, tomography, ultrasonography, radioisotope imaging, computed tomography, digital radiography, and magnetic resonance imaging. Individual practices may vary depending on intent, licensure, and scope-of-practice laws.

Rehabilitation Chiropractors

Healthcare Taxonomy Code 111NR0400X

Rehabilitation is the discipline focused on restoring a patient’s functional abilities to pre-injury or pre-disease status.

Functional abilities are defined as activities in one’s daily life, work, or sports and recreational activities in which an individual participates.

Relevant impairments (e.g., strength, endurance, flexibility, motor control, etc.) are often intermediate goals of rehabilitation.

Still, the ultimate goal of successful care is to return the patient to activities they were successful in before the onset of the injury or disease.

Essential to a rehabilitation approach is a focus on patient-centered outcomes such as independence and self-management or self-care skills.
