What is Chiropractic Treatment?

Chiropractors are neuro-musculoskeletal experts, or to the layperson, back specialists. In simple terms, this means there is no condition we cannot assist with because we understand your brain and central nervous system (neuro), muscles (muscular) and bone structure (skeletal), and how these elements interact with one another.

What Is Chiropractic Treatment?

Chiropractors

Chiropractors work by understanding and analysing how your central nervous system is communicating with your body. Your brain and body stay in touch with one another using signals fired up and down the spinal cord (which is part of the central nervous system).
Chiropractors use a range of techniques to reduce pain, improve function and increase mobility, including ice, heat, exercise, manipulation, acupuncture and soft-tissue massage.
Chiropractors also offer a package of care which includes advice on self-help, therapeutic exercises and lifestyle changes.
