Chiropractic for back pain and posture problems

iVillage talks about how chiropractic is generally good for your body as a whole, as well as a cost-effective way to take care of back pain and posture problems.

This hugely popular and effective treatment of the spine, joints and muscles uses precise manipulation to realign the skeletal structure. Anne Woodham explains.
The term chiropractic comes from the ancient Greek, cheiro, meaning ‘hand’, and praktikos, meaning ‘doing.’ Chiropractors use their hands to diagnose and treat disorders of the spine, joints and muscles. The body is regarded as a mechanism, with the spine as key support and link to the brain.
