What is a primary chiropractic procedure?

A primary chiropractic procedure refers specifically to the hands-on treatment techniques that chiropractors use to relieve pain, restore mobility, and promote overall health. In this context, chiropractic adjustments or manipulations are fundamental to chiropractic practice. These procedures involve the application of controlled force to specific joints of the body, often with the aim of correcting misalignments, improving function, and addressing musculoskeletal issues.

While administrative tasks such as setting appointments and the conducting of research are important aspects of managing a chiropractic practice, they do not fall under the definition of primary chiropractic procedures, which focus on direct patient care and therapeutic interventions. Therefore, the emphasis here is on the physical treatments provided by licensed chiropractors to their patients, highlighting the central role of adjustments and manipulations in chiropractic care.
