Chiropractic

What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic works on the simple principle that good spinal alignment leads to better health and less pain. The presence of a spinal misalignment can interfere with your body’s master controller, the nervous system. The nervous system controls and regulates every single cell in your body, hence interference to this important system has been proven to have a negative effect on health.

A Chiropractor will correct these spinal misalignments and aim to improve your body function, reduce pain and restore your health.

Chiropractic is a way of keeping healthy and being at your best; for better sports performance, improved flexibility, better posture, higher resistance to disease, a more comfortable pregnancy or more energy.

What Chiropractic is not!

• Chiropractic is not a replacement for painkilling drugs (or a quick fix relief). It is a natural way to stimulate your body to heal itself and this may take time.
• Chiropractic is not dangerous. Your chiropractor has trained for over 4 years to use the safest and gentlest techniques available.
• Chiropractic is not unconventional. It is scientific and now a mainstream part of healthcare around the world. Thousands of people use chiropractors every day as a part of a good health regime.

Who is chiropractic for?

Chiropractic is suitable for babies, children and adults. Many problems can be addressed including back and leg pain, neck and arm pain, sports injuries, headaches and during pregnancy. The list is long.
