Chiropractic is a primary health-care profession that specialises in the diagnosis, treatment and overall management of conditions that are due to problems with joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles and nerves of the body, particularly those of the spine.

There is a range of evidence demonstrating that chiropractic care is safe and effective and cost effective when compared with “best care” in general practice. UK BEAM Trial Team (2004) BMJ 329:1381, NICE (2006) IPG 183.

Chiropractic care is focused on detecting, correcting and preventing spinal movement problems. By using gentle manipulation called chiropractic adjustments and a range of other manual treatments we are able to reduce irritation and pressure to the nervous system and so allow normal function and balance to return.

Chiropratic is a holistic profession and a full package of care usually includes advice about exercise, posture, diet and lifestyle and is tailored to each individual. This comprehensive approach of care helps in managing the condition and preventing a recurrence of the problem with the minimum number of treatments.
