Which problems are most commonly treated by chiropractic?

Because doctors of chiropractic are highly skilled at diagnosing and treating neuromusculoskeletal problems, the most common conditions treated are low-back pain, neck pain, joint pain, headaches, and sciatica. Other conditions often seen include osteoarthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, and many forms of sprains and strains. Doctors of chiropractic, however, are trained to diagnose and treat a great deal more than just neuromusculoskeletal disorders.
