Chiropractic is a profession which specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions which are due to mechanical dysfunction of the joints and their effects on the nervous system.
Chiropractors treat the causes of pain associated with many of the problems of modern living.
They use their hands to adjust the joints of the spine and other parts of the body where signs of restriction in movement are found. This adjustment improves mobility of the joints and relieves pain by restoring normal function. The body's own healing processes are then able to get on with the task of improving health. Chiropractors today treat many thousands of patients every week for a wide variety of ailments affecting all parts of the body. Chiropractic can be suitable for people of all ages and all walks of life, including new born babies, the elderly, pregnant women and sports enthusiasts.
