They oftentimes partner with local physicians who can oversee the pain management aspect of their patients while they provide more of body alignment and musculoskeletal manipulation approach to provide patients with pain relief. Chiropractors treat a myriad of conditions relating to muscles and bones causing bodily discomfort and sometimes other ailments.
