The Chiropractic ApproachChiropractic is an approach to health and wellbeing that centres around the body’s own natural ability to heal itself.

Given the right raw materials, your body has a miraculous ability to regenerate cells that have been damaged by trauma, toxins or sickness.

The Human Body

The human body is incredibly complex and intricate. It’s made up of over 75 trillion cells with specialised functions that adapt to your body’s changing requirements...

The Human Body

You digest food, alter your heart rate and blood pressure, defend against bacteria and viruses, heal wounds and broken bones, and carry out thousands of other essential body functions without having to think about them.

The Human Body

Central to all your bodily functions is your nervous system.

It consists of your brain, sense organs, spinal cord and nerves that branch out to every single cell.

Your nervous system is the most complex part of your body.

A Natural Approach

Chiropractic is based on the knowledge that tension, misalignment or altered function within your spine (called subluxations) can interfere with the flow of information and energy along your nerves. This may dramatically affect the function of your body in many different ways.

A Natural Approach

Doctors of Chiropractic focus on improving the function of your spine, which helps to free the flow of information throughout your nervous system.

This helps your body to better coordinate its functions, adapt

to stress and heal itself.

The Nervous System controls the function of every cell in your body.

Interference to your nerves will often result in dis-ease

With Chiropractic, many people naturally find relief from aches, pains and the symptoms of a huge range of conditions, and grow flexible and healthy without overloading their systems with painkillers, anti-inflammatory drugs, and other chemicals.

This is because Chiropractic often gets to the cause of the problem, rather than just masking the symptoms.

A vertebral subluxation is an area of altered spinal motion, tension or misalignment that interferes with the flow of information and energy along spinal nerves and throughout your nervous system.

Subluxations

Although some are obvious, many subluxations exist without apparent pain or discomfort.

The causes of Subluxation can be classified into three main types of stress:

Physical Stress such as injuries, accidents, slips, falls, the birth process, prolonged abnormal postures and repetitive movements.

Mental and Emotional Stress such as arguments, upsets, personal traumas, work pressure, life or career changes.

We use a wide range of different methods adapted to suit people of all ages and body types, from newborns to the elderly.

SOTIn this office, we use a technique called ‘Sacro-Occipital Technique’, or SOT. Designed in 1925 and perfected for over 50 years, this is one of the most gentle techniques in the Chiropractic spectrum. It works by redistributing the spinal fluid surrounding your brain and spinal cord, to allow your nervous system to function optimally.
