Some back conditions, especially those that are mild or have not caused physiological damage, appear to respond well to hands-on chiropractic care. Chiropractors are trained, licensed healthcare professionals who use manipulation techniques to adjust or move the spinal structure into proper alignment. The Sutter Integrative Health program includes licensed chiropractic professionals who are part of Sutter's approach to providing full-spectrum patient care.
