What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is the world’s largest natural, non-surgical and medication free health care profession in the world. Doctors of chiropractic are primary contact practitioners, this means that you don’t need a referral for a consultation.
The word Chiropractic literally means ‘to do by hand’. It has been traced back to the time of the ancient Greeks and the early days of medicine. Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine looked to the spine to remove dis-ease. In 1898, a man named D. D. Palmer discovered the true effect of nerve pressure from spinal dysfunction when he cured a janitor from deafness with a specific chiropractic adjustment.
Nowadays, chiropractic is the most heavily researched natural healthcare profession in the world. It has proven to be a gentle, safe and highly effective healing art for all ages and many conditions. It is thoroughly researched and supported by scientific evidence.
Chiropractic has a unique philosophy in that it focuses on the cause of your problem. It aims to restore your nervous function, allowing the natural healing ability of your body to fight and prevent disease.
The medical approach is different. It uses drugs that travel through your bloodstream to change the way your body works. For example: Laxatives to speed up elimination and antacids to reduce stomach acid. Besides the side effects, possible kidney damage and fatal mistakes, drugs often ignore the real cause of your problem.
Many people seek chiropractic care for joint and muscular pain. Although great results are achieved with these problems, chiropractic can help a wider range of other conditions, including:
- Stress
- Constipation
- Headaches
- Miagraines
- Sinusitis
- Bed wetting
- Disc pain

Everyone should get their spine checked. Only 10% of your nerves perceive pain, the other 90% are what makes your body function. It is possible to have pressure on your nerves and feel no pain. By the time someone is in pain, spinal problems can be quite advanced. Just as a heart attack is not the first sign of heart problems.
