Why is Chiropractic Health important?

Chiropractic is a health profession concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disorders of the musculoskeletal system, and the effects of these disorders on the nervous system and general health.

The word chiropractic, from the Greek words praxis and cheir, means practice or treatment by hand.

Why Come & See a Chiropractor?

If you suffer from any of the following conditions, Chiropractic can be of assistance:

• Back Pain

• Musculoskeletal
• Non-Musculoskeletal

Chiropractic is the third largest of the doctored health professions behind medicine and dentistry.

Your Chiropractor will assess your body in a holistic manner to ascertain the cause of your symptoms. Their assessment will use orthopaedic, neurological and musculoskeletal testing, as well as hands-on palpation of the spine and peripheral joints.

Similarly to an Osteopath, Chiropractors believe in the bodys innate healing abilities, meaning the body is self-healing and self-regulating. This ability that the body has is affected by and integrated through the nervous system. The treatment that they provide is merely the allowing the body to heal itself.
