Chiropractic is a natural, non-invasive therapy that seeks to restore the body’s natural balance. Its main focus is the relationship between your nervous system and spine, and the body’s organs, tissues, bones, muscles and joints.
Chiropractic care treats the whole body, and can be used to treat postural problems, arthritis, headaches, migraines, neck pain or sciatica, as well as sports injuries.
Assessment and treatment with an Adelaide chiropractor will identify and locate: areas of your spine that are out of alignment; places where the movement of joints is restricted; and places where the spinal nerve is being irritated. Through a series of specialised techniques, known as chiropractic adjustments, these will be corrected so that you regain freedom of movement and the confidence that comes with being able to move naturally and without discomfort.
There are many ways to adjust the spine. A chiropractic adjustment is when a gentle, painless directed force is applied to a joint that is suffering from restricted movement. This helps the joint gradually to regain normal motion, bringing with it improved nervous system function.
Most people think that chiropractic is only good for sciatica, neck pain, whiplash and lower back pain. However, many other bodily disfunctions can be addressed. Nutritional habits, lifestyle – including sleep habits, posture and psychological distress can all disturb our delicate balance of wellness.
As chiropractic is a natural approach to good health, most people experience benefits quite quickly. You will be helped by your Adelaide chiropractor to understand the causes of your health problems in order to minimise recurrence. This gentle approach works because we are helping to restore the body’s natural ability to heal itself and to be healthy.
