ABOUT CHIROPRACTIC

Chiropractic care and Chiropractic philosophy is focused on a few main principles.

1. The human body is a self-healing and self-regulating machine.

2. All of the body's functions are controlled by the nervous system- the brain, the spinal cords and the peripheral nerves.  

3. The spine protects the nervous system and often small misalignments/ spinal dysfunction (subluxation) occur causing aberrant movement and interference to the nervous system. This dysfunction may result in poor overall body function tight muscles, pain, reduced immunity, reduced energy levels, injury vulnerability and discomfort. 

4. Chiropractors, are the only health practitioners trained to locate and correct subluxation. They use various techniques to perform Chiropractic adjustments.  A series of adjustments will in most cases restore normal function to the spine, allowing your body to function optimally and perform at its best.

Today,  the healthcare industry is realising that the 'fix-it when its broken' approach to health care is not the best approach. Taking care of ourselves and applying preventative measures for our body and health may mean that we enjoy 100+ plus with minimal health complaints... Eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, having adequate sleep, minimising stress, being outdoors and getting adjusted by a Chiropractor regularly are easy and natural ways to take care of yourself.
