Chiropractic is finding out what your injury is, understanding why you have it and to stop it from returning.

Chiropractors are trained in the mechanics of the body, to diagnose, treat and prevent problems with muscles, joints, ligaments, tendons and nerves.

Our bodies are complex and respond to a variety of external stressors every day. Physical and emotional stress both play a role in decreasing how our bodies optimal function.

The most common Chiropractic treatment focuses on posture and involves hands-on techniques including soft tissue work, mobilisations and adjustments to improve mobility and reduce pain.

As you may already know, the nervous system is the master controller of all living cells, tissues and organs. The spinal column encases the nervous system (spinal cord and nerve roots) and is responsible for its protection.

In short, because the body's innate recuperative powers are affected by and integrated through the nervous system, correcting spinal abnormalities which irritate the nervous system can lead to a number of favourable results in patients suffering from various, seemingly non-spinal health conditions.

Chiropractic is a form of healthcare which focuses on ensuring optimal nerve supply and communication between your brain and your body.

Chiropractic doctors are the only health care professionals trained to deliver the chiropractic adjustment.

By using a number of unique and highly refined skills and techniques, the chiropractor checks the patient's spine for any misalignments, fixations or other abnormalities (vertebral subluxations).

Chiropractic is so much more than the idea of only taking care of back pain, slipped discs and pinched nerves.

They use their hands or instruments to apply a gentle force to a joint in the spine to help improve the range of motion, blood flow, nutrients and functioning of the spine and to other parts of the body.

Treatment is completely safe, allowing the body's ability to heal itself and to function to its optimal potential.

The chiropractic adjustment represents the fundamental core principle of the chiropractic treatment.

It is used successfully to treat a variety of different soft tissue disorders as well as a number of other health problems.

The Chiropractic Adjustment or Manipulation is the process of applying a quick but gentle pressure to "subluxated" vertebrae in a corrective manner.

Subluxation exists when a vertebra loses its normal superior and inferior alignment, or when a vertebra loses its normal motion.

The chiropractic adjustment delivers gentle movement into these restricted joints and tight muscles. By encouraging proper motion, pain and inflammation are reduced.

The adjustments are not and should not be painful. In fact, most patients look forward to their chiropractic adjustments.

The adjustments usually provide patients with immediate relief from pain and discomfort, improved mobility and muscle tightness and an increase in one's sense of well being.
