Chiropractic helps your body help itself.
What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is an independent branch of medicine which specialises in the diagnosis of mechanical disorders of the joints, particularly those of the spine and the effects on the nervous system. X-rays are often used in diagnosis and a chiropractor carries out treatment by careful specific adjustments. Drugs and surgery are not used.
The word "Chiropractic" is taken from two Greek words, and means "manual practice" or treatment by manipulation.
What do Chiropractors treat?
Chiropractors are mainly involved in the treatment of musculo-skeletal complaints. These problems include the most common types of aches and pains such as backache, neck pain and headache. About half of all patients who consult a chiropractor, do so because of back pain.
What other common problems can chiropractors help?
As well as treating back and neck pains, chiropractors heal pain originating from the spine but felt in other parts of the body. This includes pain in the legs, such as sciatica, and shoulder and arm pains. Many headaches are caused by muscle contraction in the neck brought about by a neck disorder. Muscle tension in the neck is increased and pain is referred from the neck area to the head giving a typical tension headache. In many cases even the headache associated with migraine can be traced to a disturbance affecting part of the nervous system. This part of the nervous system functions automatically and is called the autonomic nervous system and various problems that do not appear to be related to the spine can develop, such as dizziness or, in children and young adults, asthma. Sometimes chiropractic treatment can also relieve a whole range of other complaints including catarrh and sinus problems, digestive disorders, constipation and menstrual problems.
What complaints are most frequently helped by chiropractors?
Low back pain (lumbago), disc lesions, sciatica and other leg pains, hip and knee problems, headaches, neck pain, shoulder and arm pains, pins and needles and numbness sensations. Muscular aches and joint pains, for instance in elbows, feet and ankles, can also be treated.
