A Chiropractor is a health professional mainly concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the effects of these disorders on the function of the nervous system and general health. Chiropractors use their hands to treat disorders of the bones, muscles and joints. Chiropractors use a range of techniques using their hands, with an emphasis on the manipulation of the spine. They may also offer advice on other areas that affect spinal health including diet, exercise and rehabilitation programmes.

Not sure if you need a Chiropractor? Many chiropractors only treat conditions related to the spine, such as lower back or neck. Others may treat a wider range of conditions such as asthma, infant colic and other issues. It's best to ask your chiropractor or health professional when you call them or at your next appointment.

Chiropractic adjustment can be instrumental to rehabilitation from a pre-existing disability. By seeing a professional Chiropractor you can get treatment and a rehabilitation plan personalised to you to get you on the road to recovery.
