Chiropractic focuses on the cause of the problems and not just the symptoms. Its main aim is to reduce musculoskeletal pain and improve overall health by maintaining correct spinal alignment which in turn promotes optimal nerve function and optimal health.
Doctors of Chiropractic specialise in diagnosis, treatment and prevention of musculo-skeletal problems. The treatment corrects misaligned spinal bones (subluxations) and removes nerve interference. Subluxations are commonly associated with:
- back pain
- cervicogenic headaches
- pinched nerves
- neck pain
- muscle weakness
- poor flexibility
|
- poor posture
- abdominal muscular pain
- sports injuries
- RSI
- pregnancy pains
- and many more
|
Doctors of Chiropractic specialise in locating, analysing and correcting these subluxations.

Doctors of Chiropractic are often perceived as "back doctors". Although this perception is not entirely incorrect, it is very much incomplete. Doctors of chiropractic are a highly appropriate resource in matters of work-place safety, stress management, injury prevention, postural correction and nutritional counselling. Hence they also play an important role in preventative or wellness care. The initial examination takes 1 hour and treatments thereafter take 15 minutes.
