What is it?

Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that your nervous system controls the function of every cell, tissue, organ and system in your body.

This nervous system consits of your brain, spinal cord, the sets of nerves leaving the spinal cord called the nerve roots and nerves spreading from these roots to every part of your body. As you know, your brain is protected by your skull but it is less well known that one of the main functions of the bones of the spine is to protect the equally important spinal cord. These 24 vertebral bones also have to move, which is where problems can occur.

Many every day activities can cause these spinal bones to lose their normal position or motion, this is known as a 'subluxation' (a term now recognised by the World Health Organization). When your bones are out of alignemnt they can cause an interuption to the nerve flow by compression or, more likely, irritation of the nerve root, which in turn can lead to nervous system disfunction and possibly dis-ease. Possiable symtoms can be pain, pins and needles, numbness or muscle spasms etc. This is the subluxation that we treat.

Our approach to optimum health is to detect, reduce and help prevent nervous system disfunction through drugless treatment of these subluxations.

Through simple, non evasive healing, for the entire family, the Chiropractor On Sheen Road can offer babies, children, pregnant mothers, young adults sports people and the elderly not only a drugless alternative to getting pain free, but also, the opportunity to maximise good health naturally through Chiropractic Care. Ongoing treatment after your pain and symptoms have subsided can result in ongoing natural health care, through the possible prevention of illness and disease.
