What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic care offers a natural approach to maintaining good health, prevention of disease and the treatment of many common conditions. Chiropractic care is proven to be safe and effective and is tailored to each patient’s age, condition and spinal needs.
Unlike painkilling drugs, chiropractic works by identifying the underlying cause of pain and correcting it, not just by treating the symptoms. By treating the cause, chiropractic can provide a long-term solution, not just a quick, but temporary, fix. The body is a very adaptable structure with a great capability to compensate for disease and dysfunction and still continue to work. Because of this, pain is often the last symptom to appear.
Early detection and adjustment of spinal problems (subluxations) prevents them from developing into more serious ones. Therefore alongside helping with the many painful conditions my patients present with, my clinic places a great emphasis on preventative care and improving health. Children especially can benefit from chiropractic care to encourage correct musculoskeletal development and stimulate early restoration of the body’s inborn ability to be healthy.
Looking after your spine, musculoskeletal and nervous system is a little like looking after your teeth. Do you go to the dentist regularly to get your teeth checked and prevent cavities forming or do you wait until the toothache appears and then to go see your dentist for a filling or extraction?! My clinic therefore encourages a positive attitude to preventative chiropractic care whilst also providing support and treatment for acute and painful cases.
