Chiropractic

Chiropractic care encompasses the natural art, science and philosophy of allowing the body to heal itself through the inborn innate healing mechanism that we all possess.

This is achieved through a process of gentle corrective techniques and procedures called a spinal adjustment to restore balance and homeostasis to the body via the nervous system.

Every major organ to the single cell is controlled by the nervous system. Furthermore, this system is divided into 3 distinct components: the central nervous system which is made up of your brain and spinal cord; the peripheral nervous system which branches out from the spinal cord to all parts of your body; and the autonomic nervous system made up of the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions which regulate various functions such as digestion, heart rate and respiration.

The daily demands and stress that we place on our body through work, physical sports activity, gardening to workplace injuries and trauma from accidents, can cause the spinal joints to become fixated and misaligned. This in turn can cause disruptions to the nervous system which can interfere with the normal functioning of the body.

Chiropractic is able to restore and optimize body function by correcting the underlying cause - problematic spinal fixations called subluxations. When chiropractic treatment is combined with healthy lifestyle changes, diet and a corrective/preventative exercise program, the nervous system begins to express itself and the body begins to heal itself naturally.
