Chiropractic is a regulated healthcare profession focused on diagnosing, treating, and helping prevent problems affecting the muscles, joints, spine, and nervous system.
Chiropractors use hands-on techniques such as spinal manipulation, joint mobilisation, and soft tissue therapy to help reduce pain, improve movement, and support the body’s natural function. Treatment is commonly used for issues such as back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, headaches, sports injuries, general aches and stiffness. Care is tailored to each individual and may also include advice on posture, exercise, and lifestyle to support long-term health and wellbeing.
At your chiropractic appointment, your chiropractor will begin by discussing your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, and health goals.
They will then carry out a physical examination, which may include assessing your posture, movement, joints, muscles, spine and reflexes to understand the cause of your problem. Once they have explained their findings, they will discuss a personalised treatment plan with you.
Treatment may include hands-on techniques such as spinal manipulation, joint mobilisation, soft tissue therapy, and advice on exercises, posture, or lifestyle changes. Your care will always be tailored to your needs, and you are welcome to ask questions at any stage.
Chiropractic care is a natural, hands-on approach to health that focuses on improving movement, reducing pain, and helping your body function at its best. It can be suitable for people of all ages and lifestyles, whether you are dealing with pain, recovering from injury, or looking to maintain your wellbeing.
