The term Chiropractic is derived from Greek and means treatment by hand or manipulation. Chiropractic offers hands on pain management for all ages. It can help with a wide range of problems from head to toe. Chiropractors specialise in the diagnosis of and treatment of disorders of the spine, nerves, joints and muscles. Treatment comprises highly skilled and specific adjustment or manipulation of the spine and joints where signs of restriction in movement are found and it can also involve working on muscles, joints and nerves allowing the body to get on with healing itself.

Treatment is manipulation by hand designed to improve the function of the joints and take the pressure off the nervous system, relieving pain and muscle spasm. Is the treatment painful? Generally chiropractic treatment does not hurt, but occasionally there might be some short lived discomfort, which passes quickly for most patients. If your problem has been there for a long time you may be sore afterwards as your body adjusts to the treatment.
