FAQs: Chiropractic

What is Chiropractic?
Similar to osteopathy but chiropractic concentrates on re-aligning spinal vertebrae to relieve all sorts of symptoms. Attention is concentrated here because it is the main connective centre for the nervous system. Pressure, strain or tension upon the spinal cord caused by segments of the vertebral column being out of place affect nerve transmission and can result in an unheathy state in the organs of the body controlled by the nerves in question. X-rays are often used in diagnosis and it is often complimentary with other therapies.

What disorders does it help treat?
In general the following diseases may respond well:- neuritis, neuralgia, sciatica, rhematic and arthritic conditions, migraine headaches, blood pressure, both high and low, and spinal lessions associated with muscular pain.
