What is chiropractic?

Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that your nervous system controls the function of virtually every cell , tissue, organ and system of your body. Chiropractic specialises in the diagnosis, treatment and overall management of bio mechanical disorders of the musculo-skeletal system, particularly those involving the spine and their effects on the nervous system.

Poor, inadequate or incorrect function in the spine can cause irritation of the nerves and muscles that control our posture and movement. This spinal nerve stress (which may be caused by factors such as accidents, poor diet, repetitive strain, lack of exercise, poor posture and anxiety) can lead to the symptoms of discomfort, pain and even disease which are a warning that the body is not functioning properly.

Chiropractors take an holistic approach to your health and well-being; this means that they consider your symptoms in the context of your full medical history, your lifestyle and your personal circumstances.

Who Can Benefit?

You will be asked about your medical history together with information about your current condition in order to establish an overall health picture . A comprehensive examination will be undertaken, incorporating standard orthopedic and neurological tests and bio mechanical assessment of individual joints. Your blood pressure may be taken, and x-rays ordered as appropriate. Your chiropractor will then provide information about your condition, and explain the proposed treatment and management plan.

Whatever your age consider chiropractic!
