September 18 is a special date for all health and wellness lovers, as it is celebrated as Chiropractic Day.
This medical discipline, which still needs to continue to be popularized, plays a crucial role in relieving pain, improving quality of life and maintaining spinal health.
It is a different perspective on the art of healing.
120 years ago, this day marked the beginning of a discipline that changed the lives of millions of people who today have been healed and can claim to have a better quality of life with the help of doctors of chiropractic.
Sometimes, surgeries and medications cannot cure everything. Sometimes, the human body requires a multidisciplinary cure.
