About chiropractic and osteopathic treatment
Chiropractic is the science and art that recognises the vital relationship between structure and function, especially as it relates to the spine and its articulations.
Chiropractic adjustments help you in many ways. They help to:
- Restore normal alignment of the vertebrae
- Restore motion
- Reduce pain
- Restore normal sensation
- Relax tight muscles
- Remove swelling
- Accelerate healing
Deep tissue massage is used to help relax tight muscles prior to adjustments being performed.
Stretching of shortened muscles is used as part of the treatment as required.
Exercises to strengthen weak muscles are introduced as mobility returns.
