A chiropractor is a health professional who has been trained to diagnose and remedy neuromuscular disorders. Chiropractors treat a variety of disorders associated with the spine, neck, nerves, and musculoskeletal system. Diseases, injuries, or other health problems might cause these disorders. They focus their treatments on manual adjustment and manipulation of the spine. Chiropractors work to reduce pain and help patients recover full functionality. Chiropractors can also offer patients exercises and information that can help them cope with pain and live fuller lives.

The subspecialty of interventional pain management aims to help patients who are suffering from all types of pain by using invasive interventions. This may include anything from nerve blocks to implantable drug delivery systems to spinal cord stimulation. This kind of treatment is often helpful for patients who have long-lasting pain that cannot be easily managed with medication or other means of pain management. Therefore, these treatments are usually reserved for those with serious pain problems.
