What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic focuses on ensuring that your body's nervous system works at its best as the nervous system controls everything in the body. The nervous system (consisting of the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves and special sensory organs) controls and co-ordinates all of your body's organs and structures and relates you to your environment. Chiropractic removes interference to the nervous system allowing your body to heal itself. This means that chiropractic assists you to provide yourself with the best possible conditions for your health and your life.

So what causes interference to the nervous system?

Interference is caused by part of your spine that is no longer in its 'proper' position. In chiropractic terms, this is called a ‘misalignment’. Such misalignments disturb the nervous system's ability to regulate every cell in your body, and have therefore been proven to have a negative effect on one's health.

A chiropractor will correct these spinal misalignments for you and will aim to reduce pain, improve your body's overall function as well as restore well-being. Chiropractic treats the cause of your discomfort, not the symptoms.
