It can benefit you if you are experiencing symptoms of pain, stiffness and ill health as it may be that your spine, joints and nervous system are not working to their maximum potential. Why not book a Initial Consultation to see if chiropractic treatments can benefit you? Chiropractors abide by the belief that your body knows how to heal itself but sometimes needs help to make this happen. Worldwide, Chiropractic is the third largest healthcare division after Medicine and Dentistry and is one of the fastest growing healthcare choices in the world. Chiropractic works for most people of all ages. The typical office will see babies of a few weeks old to seniors in their 80s or 90s and everyone in between! Before any treatment is given, the practitioner will first perform a thorough physical examination to make sure you, and any symptoms you want help with, are suitable for chiropractic care. The first thing to mention is that between these different professions there are some similarities in that in all three the clinicians will mostly use their hands along with some pieces of equipment to encourage healing of the human body. Many people feel that when lying on the bench and being the recipient of chiropractic care it can feel similar to when they tried osteopathy or physiotherapy. All three professions are also relatively “new” in that if one goes back perhaps 150 years there were people practising forms of physical therapy but it was unregulated without a professional categorisation like we see today and there was likely to be little or no formal (i.e. university ) training – the knowledge was passed down from person to person.
