Most chiropractors use their hands to manipulate your spine and joints, but don't be surprised if you find a chiropractic office where the doctors prefer a hands-off approach. In such cases, they may prefer to use special instruments for adjustments, and treat other problems with hot and cold packs, or mild electrical stimulation.

Location, accessibility, and convenience should also be taken into account when choosing a new chiropractic office for your treatment. Check their hours of operation, whether the office is well kept and roomy enough, and whether they're convenient to your work or home.
