What is chiropractic?

According to the association of chiropractic colleges, “ Chiropractic is a health care discipline which emphasises the inherent recuperative power of the body to heal itself without the use of drugs or surgery. The practice of chiropractic focuses on the relationship between structure (primarily the spine) and function (as co-ordinated by the nervous system) and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health.”

Because chiropractic treatments are primarily applied to the spinal region, many people incorrectly assume that chiropractors treat only back and neck ailments. While we do quickly and effectively help low back and neck pain, it is not the only goal. Our objective is to improve overall health / well-being and each person's quality of life.

The role of chiropractors

Practically speaking, chiropractors are primarily concerned with locating and treating vertebral subluxations (misalignments) and to help develop strategies to improve your spinal health.

Using a number of highly refined skills, the chiropractor checks each individuals spine for the presence of vertebral subluxations. If detected, the chiropractor will generally apply a gentle force in a corrective manner to the affected spinal area.

Chiropractors use many techniques to identify and treat subluxations and to optimise overall health. In addition to spinal adjustive techniques, relevant soft tissue techniques are used and dietary /lifestyle modification programs are commonly employed where appropriate.

The benefits of chiropractic care include:

  • Spinal and extremity pain relief
  • Headache relief
  • Improved posture
  • Increased mobility
  • Decreased stiffness
  • Increased joint health
  • Increased performance and energy
  • Improved sleep patterns
  • Better balance and co-ordination
  • Reduced degeneration and risk of injury
