No. Chiropractors also address / treat other moveable joints in the body.

The same principles of trauma causing misalignment, subluxation and pain apply to all of the moveable joints in the body.

Pain in the extremity joints (such as the shoulder) can originate from the spine, so it is important to consider the spine first. If the cause cannot be traced there, then it is necessary to look at that extremity joint.

Even the jaw can become misaligned or subluxated, causing tempro-mandibular pain and an uneven bite. Often a dental issue can cause issues with your jaw. If your dentist has cleared you, or no dental problem exists, Chiropractic may help correct this problem.
