Here are a few more definitions, if you are looking for a short answer:

"Chiropractic returns the body to balance through adjustments of the spine and joints, normalizing joint motion, reducing nerve interference, relieving stress and restoring normal body function. Whenever there is a system containing many movable parts, a complex balance is necessary between those parts. Chiropractors influence the body's nervous system and natural defense mechanisms in order to alleviate pain and improve general health. Because of its effectiveness in treating back problems, headaches and other injuries and traumas, chiropractic has become the second largest primary care field in the world."

"First developed in 1895, today chiropractic is the largest drugless healing profession. Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that the nerve system controls the function of every cell, tissue, organ and system in your body. The nerve system consists of the brain, spinal cord and millions of nerves. The brain is protected by the skull, and the spinal cord is protected by the 24 movable bones of the spine. Many everyday activities can cause these spinal bones to lose their normal position. This can result in nervous system dysfunction and ultimately ill health. The chiropractic approach to better health is to detect, reduce and help prevent nervous system dysfunction."

"Chiropractic - the system that in theory uses the recuperative powers of the body and the relationship between the musculoskeletal structures and functions of the body, particularly of the spinal column and the nervous system, in the restoration and maintenance of health."
