Chiropractic Care Chiropractors are regulated primary healthcare professionals who diagnose and treat problems with the bones, joints, muscles and nerves. Our Chiropractor begins by asking you about your medical history and lifestyle before giving you a full physical examination to locate the cause of the problem. We only accept patients we can help, so if the Chiropractor feels you won't benefit from this form of therapy, she will always offer you a direct referral to an appropriate specialist. People of all ages and occupations benefit from our Chiropractic clinic - from toddlers to seniors, from sports professionals to office workers. As well as relieving many kinds of musculoskeletal pain, we can often help with headaches arising from the neck, and with migraines. Chiropractors use a range of treatment techniques -including hands-on manipulation of the spine and soft tissues. This is safe and generally painless, although there may be some initial discomfort if joints are already sore. We follow up any remedial treatment by giving you advice on prevention. This may include tips on posture and how to avoid damage caused by everyday activities such as lifting or twisting. We may also recommend strengthening and stabilising exercises to correct imbalances that may have contributed to the problem.
