Chiropractic is based on the fact that the nervous system, which consists of the brain, spinal cord and nerves, is the master control system of the body.
Within this system is an in-born (innate) intelligence which controls the billions of chemical reactions which take place every second and are necessary for us to continually reproduce our cells, heal, stay healthy and give us life.
Physical stresses such as knocks, falls and prolonged sitting as well as emotional and chemical stresses can cause spinal nerve stress interference resulting in symptoms such as stiffness, pain, numbness and other health problems. Nerve interference may also be affecting the function of your internal organs, and in turn your long term health without you being aware of any symptoms at all.
Chiropractors use safe gentle natural techniques (called adjustments) to restore the normal movement and alignment of spinal and other joints. This can often relieve pain and other symptoms, but more importantly removes interference of your nervous system to allow your body to co-ordinate and heal itself, you are better able to reach your maximum health and potential, whilst moving easier and looking better with improved posture.
