Chiropractic Awareness Month
What is chiropractic?
The main focus of our treatment is the relationship between the function of joints, muscles and the nervous system, and the effects of these on health. Working on all the joints of the body, concentrating particularly on the spine, we use our hands to make gentle, specific adjustments (manipulation) to improve the efficiency of the nervous system to allow the body’s natural healing ability to function at its best.
The principal treatment is joint adjustment or manipulation and we are trained in many different techniques, which enables us to select a treatment method that is suitable for you, making the treatment safe and effective for all ages.
But the treatment does not only involve spinal manipulation, far from it.
Management also includes:
- Rehabilitative exercises
- Education and lifestyle modification
- Diet and nutrition
- The use of physical therapies such as soft tissue techniques and massage
- The use of orthotics and other supports
- The use of electrical modalities such as ultrasound, interferential and low level laser therapy, Tecar and IDD Therapy.
