Chiropractic is a primary health care profession concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, and the effects of these disorders on the functions of the nervous system and general health.

Chiropractic works by identifying the underlying cause of pain and correcting it, unlike painkilling drugs, which only address the symptoms. By restoring normal function to the musculoskeletal system where possible, chiropractors can play a major part in relieving discomfort, and any accompanying pain arising from accidents, stress, lack of exercise, poor posture and the everyday wear and tear that happens to all of us.

Chiropractic care offers a natural approach to the treatment of many common conditions which is proven to be safe and effective. The treatment is tailored to each patient’s age, condition and spinal needs. Chiropractic can provide a long-term solution, not just a quick, but temporary, fix.

Chiropractic is a healthcare profession that focuses on diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, with special emphasis on the spine. It emphasises manual therapy including spinal manipulation and other joint and soft-tissue manipulation as well as exercises and health and lifestyle counselling.

How does chiropractic work? 

Your spinal column is made up of 24 moveable vertebrae, the sacrum and the coccyx. The column houses the spinal cord through which nerves are transmitted to the rest of your body. Whilst the spinal column maintains the correct alignment, nerve information is passed accurately.

However, if any part of your spinal column becomes misaligned then a nerve may become impinged, compressed or stretched, distorting the information that passes along it. This can lead to pain, discomfort or restricted mobility.

A chiropractor manipulates the spine and joints of the body to realign the skeletal frame. This aims to restore normal alignment and motion which relieves the effects on joints, reduces muscles spasms and ensures nerve signals flow freely around the body. Chiropractors use their hands to make an ‘adjustment’ directly to the bones involved. The key to the success of the adjustments is the speed, dexterity and accuracy with which they are performed. Through these subtle adjustments, chiropractic treatment can relieve pain and provide a route to better health.
