t Romo Chiropractic / Back Institute - Modesto, we believe that the doctor and patient become a team for treating an individual's chiropractic problems. Our chiropractors spend most of their time listening to understand your concerns and responding with the best treatment options for you.

Dr. Edgar Romo wants his patients to be informed about muscle, bone, joint and connective tissue concerns and treatments, because informed patients make better decisions about their health and well being. That is why we've included a section on this website covering common topics associated with Chiropractic. We encourage you to look through these pages whenever you have an interest or concern related to chiropractic health.
It is estimated that about 27 million Americans visit doctors of chiropractic each year, and millions more receive chiropractic care throughout the rest of the world. Chiropractic is the third largest primary health care field (after medicine and dentistry).
Chiropractic is a branch of the healing arts which is based upon the understanding that good health depends, in part, upon a normally functioning nervous system (especially the spine, and the nerves extending from the spine to all parts of the body).
"Chiropractic" comes from the Greek word Chiropraktikos, meaning "effective treatment by hand." Chiropractic stresses the idea that the cause of many disease processes begins with the body's inability to adapt to its environment.
It looks to address these diseases not by the use of drugs and chemicals, but by locating and adjusting a musculoskeletal area of the body which is functioning improperly.
