Frequently Asked Questions.
What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is the science, art and philosophy of locating and correcting subluxations to normalize the flow of nerve impulses between your brain and your entire body, allowing optimal expression of your health.
What is a Subluxation?
A subluxation is a misalignment of the vertebral segments (spinal bones), causing an irritation to spinal nerve roots. The spinal roots send information via the nervous system to the organs, cells and tissues of the body. The nervous system controls and regulates the body; consequently any
interferance to the spinal nerves may affect your— organs, tissues and cells and thus your health.
How do l know if I have a Subluxation?
Sometimes you don’t! Other times you do! A subluxation can cause you to suffer symptoms. You may have previously experienced symptoms as the result of a subluxation or you may be predisposed to symptoms. The only way to tell is to have us perform a Chiropractic examination
What type of conditions does a Chiropractor treat?
Chiropractors don’t actually treat any specific disease, condition or symptom. The human body has a natural ability to heal itself, unless that power to heal is interfered with. Chiropractors remove interferences that are occurring throughout the nervous system. They do this by carrying out spinal adjustments. This will release the innate power to heal that is within each and every one of us.
What is an adjustment?
An adjustment is the art aspect of Chiropractic. It is the procedure used to correct subluxations. There are many techniques; we will choose the best one for you.
Does an adjustment hurt?
Most people find adjustments relaxing. But sometimes, when a joint hasn’t been functioning correcy for a while, it can be tender after the first adjustment. This is because your body begins to ‘free up’ in that area. Discomfort can also be felt after the removal of nerve interference. This is because the adjustment allows-the sensor-nerves to begin functioning again sending previously blocked pain messages to the brain from an injured part of the body.
How much will it cost?
Standard Chiropractic fees paid at the bme of each visit.
If I go to a chiropractor, do I have to go for the rest of my life?
You don’t HAVE to do anything, but we find that most people who experience genuine Chiropractic care continue with adjustments and checkups regularly. They enjoy the elevated level of health and well being. In any case, the choice is always yours.
Why do Chiropractors adjust children?
Children can be subluxated too, even from birth,a subluxation can cause neurological disturbances. The nerve impulses travelling back and forth between the brain and the body are what control and coordinate development. Children’s growing bodies must have full and free flowing nerve communication to reach their full potential. ‘As the twig is bent so grows the tree.’
How long does care last?
This depends on several things: how long the subluxation has been there: what caused them: the amount of permanent spinal damage and lifestyle, We could go on, BUT, generally speaking, a typical schedule can go through three stages: Intensive; corrective; maintenance or wwellness care

Things to do for a healthy spine...
Don’t rub or poke in the treated areas. Avoid sudden twists, turns or movements beyond usual limits of motion especially the neck.
When lifting: hold the object as close to your body as possible, keeping your back straight and bending your knees to minimize the strain on your lower back.
Sit rather than recline in the bathtub. If you need to relax... it’s better you lie in bed.
Participate in simple exercises to strengthen your body, but avoid high impact activities that place stress on your neck and spine.
Make sure your mattress is firm enough to hold your body level whilst soft enough so that your shoulder, hips etc. depress the mattress. Choose a pillow that supports your head so that your neck vertebrae are level with the rest of your spine.
Sleep on your back or sides with legs flexed slighily and avoid sleeping on your stomach. Don’t read or watch TV. in bed, particularly with your head on a strain on your lower back.
When sitting, choose a chair that s firm, avoid over stuffed or over soft chairs. Never lie on a couch with your head on the arm rest.
Cross your legs at the ankles, not the knees. Crossing your legs can aggravate back conditions and interfere with circulation
Watch your posture; stand tall, sit tall, sleep tall and THINK tall
Rise from bed by turning on your side and swinging your legs off the bed then push yourself into sitting position with your arms minimising the ammount of stress on your lower back
