What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is a healing art, which has been practised for over a century using only the skills of our hands as the tools for treatment.

Chiropractors are neuromusculo-skeletal specialists. This means Chiropractors assess, diagnose and treat conditions of the joints, muscles and nervous system (nerves). The majority of problems we treat are the result of stresses applied to the body through normal activities of daily living, poor posture and progressive wear and tear as the body naturally ages.

Treatment consists of a wide variety of manipulative techniques, designed to improve function of the joints, relieving pain and muscle spasm. All manipulations are very specific and used for the treatment of all joints from the cranium to the feet.

As Chiropractors treat the cause of the problem and not the symptoms, treatment may take place away from the symptomatic area. This is because irritation of the nerves may have occurred at a distance from the pain.

Chiropractic is suitable for all age groups so we often treat conditions such as colic in babies and middle ear infections commonly encountered in infants. Chiropractic treatment is recommended for back and neck pain, sciatica, headaches, jaw pain and limb conditions such as tennis elbow' and 'frozen shoulder'.

Techniques used will necessarily vary according to each patient as, fitness, bone strength, flexibility, previous conditions etc. will all influence treatment of choice.
