What is Chiropractic?

Become Well Adjusted.

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

Over time, accidents, falls, poor daytime posture, unnatural sleep conditions, stress, lack of exercise and a host of other life events can cause spinal decay and damage.

This damage leads to pressure on the spinal cord, which in turn affects the health of your central nervous system and your overall health.

Our chiropractors use their hands to treat disorders of the nerves, bones, muscles and joints caused by this damage. Your chiropractor will use a range of techniques, with an emphasis on adjusting the spine. They will also offer advice on diet, exercise and lifestyle, and rehabilitation programmes that involve exercises to do in your own time.
