How does it work?



Chiropractic is based on the concept that spinal joint dysfunction can interfere with the nervous system and result in many different health issues throughout the body.


Your nervous system is responsible for sending signals to every part of your body. Millions of these signals are sent from your brain, down your spinal cord, then through your nerves to each cell, tissue and organ in your body. Signals are then sent from your body back to your brain to confirm everything is working as it should be.


The performance of this complex system can be interfered with on a number of levels, and by a range of causes.  Everyday physical, emotional or chemical stresses can take their toll on the body, and can cause spinal bones to lose their normal position or motion, causing nearby nerves to become irritated.  This can disrupt the communication of the signals sent by the nervous system; resulting in abnormal cell, tissue and organ function.  This often shows up as excessive muscle tension, restriction of movement, or the experience of pain.


Chiropractors are specially trained to restore normal spinal position and motion. These chiropractic ‘adjustments’ help remove any interference to the nervous system, and assist the body in healing itself. When the nervous system is functioning properly, good health often returns.
