What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is a primary health-care profession that specialises in the diagnosis, treatment and overall management of conditions that are due to problems with the joints, ligaments, tendons and nerves of the body, particularly those of the spine.

Treatment consists of a wide range of manipulative techniques designed to improve the function of the joints, relieving pain and muscle spasm.

Muscles, joints and organs of the body are controlled by the brain via the nervous system, an information "superhighway".

Irritation of the nervous system leads to poor control of the muscles, joints and organs which in turn leads to ill-health, disease and pain.

Adjustments are carried out using several different techniques, which are delivered with the intention of restoring, maintaining and then optimising nervous system function so that you have the greatest opportunity to be at your best.

Because nerve irritation can result not only in poor performance but also pain and even disease, you may have symptoms such as:

Neck pain
Back pain
Shoulder Pain
Leg and Knee

Pain is a warning sign which should not be ignored; your chiropractor is trained to diagnose the cause. Chiropractors do not prescribe drugs or use surgical procedures.
