What is Chiropractic ?
Chiropractic is a primary healthcare profession that specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions which are due to mechanical dysfunction of the joints, especially those of the spine, and their effects on the nervous system.
An holistic approach is adopted looking at the body as a whole,focused attention is placed on removing restrictions of the spinal joints, as well as other joints of the body, low dose x- rays may also be used when appropriate to confirm a diagnosis.
Chiropractors predominantly use "hands on" techniques treating problems with joints, bones and muscles, which consists of a wide range of manipulation techniques (some very gentle) designed to improve the function of the joints, relieving pain and muscle spasm.
