A chiropractor is a health practitioner who focuses mainly on diagnosing and treating problems with the spine, muscles, and joints, often by adjusting or manipulating them by hand. Many patients see chiropractors for back and neck pain.
“Chiropractor” comes from Greek “cheir,” meaning “hand,” and “praktikos,” meaning “practical” or “concerned with action.” It literally means someone who practices treatment with their hands.
