According to the World Federation of Chiropractic…
“Chiropractic is a health profession concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the effects of these disorders on the functions of the nervous system and general health. There is an emphasis on manual treatments including spinal adjustment.”
Chiropractic is the world’s third largest primary health care profession. It is the world’s largest drug-free approach to health care and one of the fastest growing independent health care professions in the United Kingdom.
Chiropractic concerns itself with the relationship between structure (primarily the
spine) and function (primarily coordinated by the nervous system) of the human body.
A Doctor of Chiropractic is trained to recognise conditions that require referral elsewhere and will advise you if this is the case.
Chiropractic care is safe for the whole family, from infants to the elderly, including pregnant women.
Chiropractic care may include specific adjustments or gentle forces to the spine, soft tissue techniques (stretches and traction) along with exercise and advice. Your Chiropractor will advise you which protocols are most appropriate for you.
