What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is a primary healthcare profession specialising in the treatment of disorders of the neuromusculoskeletal system. In particular Chiropractic care has been recommended in the
NHS guidelines for treatment of acute lower
back pain.

GPs are recommended to refer to chiropractors when appropriate.

Chiropractic care is suitable for people of all ages, from babies to the very elderly, because practitioners are trained to consider each patient as individual. We select from a wide range of hands-on techniques – from gentle pressure to direct manipulations; it depends on the problem and patient preference. It is the chiropractor’s job to find a solution to fit the person – not just to treat the condition.

Chiropractic can help with acute injuries, trauma or aches and pains. We often provide maintenance care to help people cope with chronic conditions such as arthritis. Alternatively you may want to use us to maximise your sporting ability or just live life with fewer aches and pains – call us for a consultation.
