Chiropractic means "done by hand" and is a natural, alternative drug and surgery-free) approach to health. Chiropractic dates back to 1895 and is said to be the third most used primary health care profession in the world after medicine and dentistry.

Chiropractic works on the premise that good health is partially dependant on a normal functioning spine and nervous system.

How does Chiropractic work?

A Chiropractor's main concern is the spine and nervous system and the functioning thereof. A Chiropractor will evaluate the biochemical structure of the spine to establish that all vertebra are moving freely and correctly and are not inhibited or displaced in any way. Once this has been identified, the Chiropractors will set about to correct the problem.
