Chiropractic a a straight forward method of adjusting bones of your body to maintain the correct alignement of your spine. It seeks to eliminate the cause and not just reat the symptoms.
Both the McTimoney and Activator techniques are gentle forms of treatment and the key to success is the speed and acuracy of the adjustments. Both McTimoney and Activator techniques treat the body as a whole, meaning that treatments are not purely focused around the area where you have symptoms.
Your spinal column is made up of 24 moveable joints, as well as the sacrum and coccyx. Inside this column is the spinal cord through which nerve information passes to the rest of the body. When the spinal column is in correct alignement, nerve messages are able to pass freely without interuption. If any part of the spinal column becomes misaligned, a nerve may become compressed, distorting the information that passes along it. This can lead to pain, discomfort and reduced mobility. Misalignement of the spine can result from a number of reasons such as accidents, poor posture, incorrect lifting, repetitive movements or stress.
