No! With chiropractic treatment no drugs or surgery is involved. Chiropractic care employs a holistic, natural approach to health. Chiropractic works by identifying the underlying cause of the problem and correcting it, rather than just masking the problem. Chiropractors use their hands to “adjust” the joints of your body, instead of putting something in or taking something out of the body. Painkillers may make you feel less pain, but they do not address the cause of the problem, and can have serious side effects.
TopToday's lifestyle calls for an “instant fix” for every health problem. Too often we say we have no time to be ill or that we can't let an ache stop us. It's time to put your priorities right! Painkillers may help you feel less pain, but they do not address the underlying cause of the pain. If they did they would probably be called “ problemsolvers ” rather than “painkillers”. Painkillers may also have serious side effects – chiropractic is a much safer way of managing your pain and overall health! Furthermore, if you continue to ignore the cause of your pain, irreversible premature degeneration changes may result. Chiropractic care is aimed at resolving the underlying cause of the pain and thus keeping you in better health.
TopYes! Chiropractic treatment is suitable and safe throughout the pregnancy. Chiropractic can help with common problems associated with pregnancy such as pain in the back, pelvis, rib cage, and it can make labour easier through the balancing effect it has on the joints and ligaments.
TopYes, people of all ages can benefit from chiropractic care, although treatment techniques of the newborn obviously differ dramatically from those of adults. It is a good idea to have babies checked soon after birth….it is not only a stressful time for the mum, but the baby too. Chiropractors have treated babies and children successfully for problems such as colic, feeding problems, sleep problems, hyperactivity, bedwetting, asthma and breathing difficulties. Talk to your chiropractor to find out more.
TopYes, chiropractic works by improving the mechanics of the joints, muscles and ligaments as well as normalising the integrity of the nervous system. When the nerves are working without interference, the body's functional potential is maximised. Many patients have found significant improvement in their sporting performance through chiropractic. If you've had a sports injury, your chiropractor can help you recover quicker, with less pain and with minimal resultant dysfunction. More importantly a trained chiropractor can uncover underlying dysfunction, and by correcting it, stop your problem from occurring. Many sportsmen simply wish to maintain their good health, and prevent future problems with regular chiropractic treatments.
