Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic is a system of natural health care that focuses on healthy function of the spine and nervous system.

Chiropractors recognise that subtle abnormalities in the movement of the joints in the spine – called Spinal Subluxations – can create stress on the delicate nerves that control and coordinate the body’s many functions.

This interference to the normal function of the nervous system may make the body more susceptible to various conditions including:

• Muscle and joint injuries and pain
• Headaches
• Dizziness
• Digestive disturbances
• Back pain
• Recurring sports strains
• Pins and needles or numbness
• Arm and leg pains
• Tennis elbow
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Fatigue and lethargy
• Colic
• Sciatica
• Growing pains
• Poor balance
• Lowered immune function

The immobility of Spinal joints caused by Subluxations can also lead to accelerated wear and tear in the joints, or osteoarthritis.

Chiropractors aim to restore normal function to joints of the spine and body using gentle manipulation, also called adjustments.

As joint mobility and function improves, interference to the nervous system is often alleviated, with the result that the body is able to restore function in the relevant symptomatic area.
