Chiropractic is based on the theory that when the spinal column is not working correctly this in turn affects the nerves in the spine, which in turn affect the nerves, muscles and bones elsewhere in the body.

Since the nervous system is so central to the functioning of every component in the body, pressure or structural problems affecting the spine can have far reaching affects on the body. This can result in a whole range of illnesses from asthma, menstrual problems, headaches, sciatica and behavioural problems.

By spinal manipulation a chiropractor can swiftly and efficiently move bones and joints back into place.

Most chiropractors today use a combination of techniques such as acupuncture, ultra-sound, electrical stimulation, massage, homeopathic remedies. Chiropractic is now widely recognised by the traditional medical establishment and is now even covered by some health insurers.
