Chiropractic is a healthcare discipline focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system—particularly the spine—and the effects of these disorders on the function of the nervous system and overall health.

Chiropractors use hands-on spinal manipulation and other manual techniques to restore joint mobility, relieve pain, and support the body’s natural ability to heal itself. The discipline emphasizes a holistic and patient-centered approach, often incorporating lifestyle advice, therapeutic exercises, and ergonomic recommendations.

While commonly associated with treating back and neck pain, chiropractic care may also address headaches, joint issues, and neuromuscular problems.

Massage therapy is a healthcare discipline that involves the systematic manipulation of the body’s soft tissues—such as muscles, connective tissue, tendons, and ligaments—to promote relaxation, reduce pain, improve circulation, and enhance overall physical function and well-being.

Massage therapists use a variety of techniques, including Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release, depending on the client's needs and health goals. Treatments may help relieve stress, manage chronic pain, aid in injury recovery, and support mental and physical wellness.
