Chiropractic

Chiropractic is a safe, scientific and effective therapy for conditions of the spine and body. It is a way of creating optimum spinal health without the use of drugs, so that the nervous system can do its job.

Chiropractic focuses on addressing the cause of the symptoms, rather than suppressing the symptoms that arise from the body telling you it is not in it's optimum state.

​

Your nervous system is the most important system in the body and chiropractic can directly impact its function. Your brain is like the master control unit, it sends messages down the spinal cord so the nerves tell the body what action it would like to carry out. Absolutely everything in your body is controlled by your nervous system which is why it is hugely important for it to function to its optimum.

Interference to the nervous system means the brain cannot communicate with the rest of the body effectively which results in pain or dysfunction of one or more of the bodies systems. A chiropractor can detect areas of interference by examining the spine with their hands, using light pressure to feel for stuck or misaligned joints.

​

Chiropractic uses specific spinal adjustments applied to areas of the spine where dysfunction has been identified. This removes the interference to the nervous system allowing the body to return to normal function. It takes time to train the spine to stay in the correct position so a course of care is needed which will include adjustments, postural advice and exercises tailored to each individual.

Chiropractic is a healthcare system, not a ‘sickcare’ system. It aims to improve the function of the spine and eliminate bad habits that contribute to spinal dysfunction to prevent the problem from reoccurring. Once optimum health has been achieved Chiropractors provide maintenance care to ensure the nervous system continues to function to its optimum. Like going to the dentist for a check-up, maintenance care aims to prevent problems before they arise. As they say, prevention is better than cure.
