What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is first and foremost a profession, not a treatment technique.

There are many techniques used under the umbrella of the chiropractic profession. These techniques range from those which are gentle enough to treat new born babies, right through to techniques which are effective on massive professional rugby players.

The goal with all chiropractic techniques is the same: to detect and remove any interference to the body’s natural balance, and function. Particular attention is made to removing interference to the nervous system at the spine. Interference to the nervous system can cause a variety of conditions including: lower back pain; neck pain; shoulder pain; pain between the shoulder blades; sciatica; and headaches. Chiropractors are very good at finding the root cause of problems, thus more effectively treating symptoms.
