The Chiropractor utilizes standard medical evaluation procedures to complete a medical assessment which forms the basis of the treatment plan. The treatment plan may include consultations to other health care providers in accordance with accepted medical indications. In addition to chiropractic manipulation - also called chiropractic adjustment - to restore joint and related soft tissue function, the chiropractor also may provide joint manipulation, myofascial mobilization, stretching and strengthening exercises, patient education and lifestyle recommendations, depending on the patient's specific needs.

The chiropractic approach to health care is holistic, stressing the patient's overall well-being. The natural non­pharmacological, non-surgical methods of chiropractic treatment rely on the body's inherent recuperative abilities to promote healing. Chiropractors may also be trained to deliver Complementary and Integrative Health (CIH) therapeutic modalities such as acupuncture.

General duties of a chiropractor include but are not limited to the following:

• Performing inpatient and outpatient musculoskeletal and neuromuscular diagnoses and treatment that emphasize function, rehabilitation, and injury prevention as well as patient wellness.
• Ordering imaging and other diagnostic studies as appropriate, prompt follow up of the results and explaining results to patients.
• Performing standard osseous and soft tissue procedures consistent with chiropractic care as commonly contained in the core curriculum of Council on Chiropractic Education - accredited Chiropractic colleges.
• Providing other complementary and integrative health services consistent with individual training and licensure.
• Making referrals to other clinicians, including but not limited to physical therapists, occupational therapist, PM&R physicians, chemical dependency physicians, pain management physicians, psychologists, neurology and primary care.
