What is a Chiropractor? A chiropractor focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system, and the effects of these disorders on general health. Chiropractic care is used most often to treat neuromusculoskeletal complaints, including but not limited to back pain, neck pain, pain in the joints of the arms or legs, and headaches. Their practice is a drug-free, hands-on approach to health care that includes patient examination, diagnosis and treatment

I am 14 years old, and I have been playing soccer since I was seven. Recently during a soccer game I injured my knee. I wasn’t sure what I did to it so I went to the expert “my dad” to see what he could do. He told me my knee became unstable. To fix that my dad tightened up my hamstring. My dad has been guiding me through out my seven years of playing soccer; to keep myself from getting any serious injuries. So far, I am doing very well ~ Ashley Silbert
