what is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is the third largest primary health care profession
in the world, after medicine and dentistry. Chiropractors
are among the most highly trained manipulative therapists
in the world today - the Chiropractors at Essential Chiropractic
have all successfully completed a five year course in Chiropractic
care at world renowned Chiropractic institutions.
Chiropractic is the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of
neuromusculoskletetal disorders. The heart of Chiropractic
care is to examine and treat the relationship between joints,
muscles and the body’s nervous system.
Chiropractic treatment involves using the hands to apply
a specific force to adjust the joints of the body, concentrating
particularly on the spine. Treatment may also involve working
on muscles and using medical acupuncture. Chiropractors treat
people with long standing (chronic) conditions and people
with short term (acute) conditions.
Chiropractic care can help to relieve pain and restore normal
function in many parts of the human body, including neck,
spine, pelvis, hips, sciatic nerve irritation, knees, feet,
shoulders, arms, elbows, wrists, hands and jaw.
The Chiropractic profession takes a holistic approach to
the needs of patient, considering physical, psychological
and social factors and recognises the value of working with
other healthcare practitioners.
All consultations are private and fully confidential.
