Today, Chiropractors are among the worlds most highly trained and skilled specialists in manipulative therapy.
Chiropractic is a regulated profession that specialises in the diagnoses, treatment and prevention of biomechanical disorders of the nerve, muscle and skeletal system. Spinal dysfunction and misalignment can cause many pain syndromes and contribute to other health problems. This is generally as a consequence of compression, inflammation and irritation to spinal joints, nerves and muscles. Spinal dysfunction and misalignment can be brought on by postural stress and trauma, emotional stress, and chemical stress (i.e. the toxins we take into our body in the form of processed foods, alcohol, cigarettes etc.) Chiropractic can help relieve pain, dysfunction and discomfort from the spine and many other parts of the body. Chiropractic can also be used as part of a health care programme to maintain spine, nerve and muscle integrity, to promote optimum health and well-being. Chiropractic uses the application of an adjustment/manipulation to the dysfunctional/misaligned segment of the spine, to remove compression irritation from the spinal nerve and ultimately reduce inflammation that can lead to pain and other health problems.
