The Chiropractic Clinic

read moreDerived from Greek, chiropractic means 'to perform with hands', which suggests that the manual treatment of the joints and muscles of the body is the most important part of the chiropractic treatment. Chiropractic has been used for thousands of years, with evidence of the ancient Egyptians and Greeks using it, although modern chiropractic treatments, as we know them today, were not founded until 1895 when American doctor Daniel David Palmer took to practicing chiropractics. These days, chiropractors must be specially educated in treating the joints and muscles with their hands, and will have to undertake and pass a course accredited by the General Chiropractic Council.

Firstly, the chiropractor will ask you questions to get an accurate picture of the problem. You will be asked to answer questions about your working conditions, previous diseases, operations, medicine taken, and your general lifestyle. Before any chiropractic treatment can be given you will be examined thoroughly so the chiropractor can make a precise diagnosis. During the examination, the patient's blood pressure and pulse will be taken, while the chiropractor may also listen to the patient's heart and lungs.
