Chiropractic principles are based on scientific fact and are logical and simple to understand:

• The spinal cord and nerves are an extension of the brain and nervous system. Collectively, this system’s vital activity is responsible for regulating all the systems in the body
• Any irritation to the nervous system (a cause) leads to a disruption of proper function that affects an individual’s health in some way (an effect)
• Various Circumstances (i.e. bad posture, wear and tear, trauma, stress, etc) can disturb spinal integrity leading to spinal misalignments/subluxations.

Spinal misalignments/subluxations can irritate spinal nerves, resulting in aberrant health.

Symptoms (when present) will depend on the area of spinal misalignment and resultant nerve irritation and can vary from headaches or neck and back pain to visceral/organic problems such as chronic indigestion, heartburn, asthma, lethargy, etc.

Chiropractors can treat the underlying cause of many of these complaints by detecting these areas of spinal misalignment and correcting them using specialised manipulative procedures called ‘adjustments’.

Chiropractic offers a totally natural solution, which never involves drugs or surgery.

True health and vitality ensures when an undisrupted nervous system is able to regulate all of your body’s physical and physiologic systems correctly, resulting in a proper balance, tone, strength and vital-activity.

Did you know that only a tiny percentage of a spinal nerve stimulates pain? The greater part of the nerve is involved in regulating your body’s systems.

Consequently, apart from alleviating neck or back pain, removing irritation from the nervous system by chiropractic care sometimes yields other benefits such as increased energy and focus, and a reduction in organic problems. While chiropractors don’t generally claim to ‘treat’ fatigue, or organic problems, these added benefits have resulted in many people now seeing Chiropractic care as not simply a treatment for back pain, but as a natural, drug free way to get and stay healthy.
