You may be wondering what it is that Chiropractic actually is, so this blog will give you an idea what Chiropractic is and how it can help you.

Chiropractic is a scientifically proven profession that  uses manual therapy techniques to treat the primary cause of your symptoms. Symptoms may include low back pain, neck pain, headaches or nerve referral like sciatica. Chiropractors believe that the alignment of your spine has great influence on how your body will function overall.

When your spine is at its most optimal alignment, it means that bones, corresponding joints, muscles, ligaments, nerves and spinal discs are all sitting in their best position. You may like to think of the  spine as the foundation of a house and the muscles, ligaments and nerves are the walls and your brain is the roof. So you can see just how fundamental the alignment of your spine is for the overall function of your body.

What you may notice when your spine is in its most optimal alignment

you can turn your head easily from one side to the other without any niggles  that bending forward to put on your shoes and socks is easy for you to do. Less headaches and Migraines

One of the defining features of Chiropractic is its influence on the nervous system communication between your brain and body – that happens when you have a spine in its most optimal position. 

Chiropractors are considered primary health care practitioners, meaning they can diagnose conditions and with an accurate diagnosis you are often able to manage your condition better and understand its progression.

Chiropractor’s are highly skilled in performing adjustments ( check out the blog on what tools chiropractors use)  that are specific to your needs. They can diagnose and treat most presentations, and although their main focus is on the spine, they can also adjust your hands, feet, wrists, and knees .
