Chiropractic
Restoring the body’s natural balance
[/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner]What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic from the meaning ‘done by hands’ is a way of adjusting bones in the body to improve the alignment of the skeleton which helps the nervous system work more efficiently by restoring it’s function. Chiropractic care aims to restore the body’s natural balance by realigning the bones to relieve pain and discomfort associated with the misalignment of bones and also to increase the mobility of the body.
Your spinal column is made up of 24 vertebrae plus the sacrum and coccyx. Throughout the spinal column, nerves exit directly from the spinal cord which is an extension of the brain. It transmits information to your body from the brain. If there is a blockage in the spinal nerves due to the vertebrae becoming misaligned then the body will not function correctly where that nerve supplies. Chiropractic acts to restore this function by manipulation of these bones.
A misalignment such as these can occur for many reasons, the most common being, incorrect lifting, poor posture, car or sporting accidents, falls and stress.
The manipulations themselves are very gentle, making treatment suitable for people of all ages. Your chiropractor may also use some ‘soft tissue work’ to help progress the treatment aiding maximum relief.
